    All the reviews of this game are bad, So I felt the need to correct this. Now, the negative reviews have valid points, this is fact. But I have found this game fast paced, and fun, if a little confusing at times. the objectives sometimes come in text at the top of the screen, and you may miss it if you aren't super attentive. The game play is fast, and heavy on action. Over all, 6.5/10 - 7/10.

    Get past the graphics people! Very few space sims actually allow you to seamlessly fly from planets to space. See those rings of saturn? Those aren't pixels, those are individual rocks!! As for the control system being clunky, this could be easily fixed by setting the physics to arcade mode. Simulation mode, which is the default, is really hard to control without some sort of degree in physics. If you're a space sim fan, I highly guarantee it but if you're looking for a quick and clean space…

    Epic fail. Loaded intro screen and then blackness - machine frozen. Had to use task manager to kill it. Reported only that program ZV.EXE had failed. I am on Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Core 2 Quad. Ample performance for this. Looks like it has a lot of promise, but how can I test it or give a better review when it won't run??? Tried compatibility modes - mainly XP SP1,2,3 and also running the ZV.exe as admin.

    This Reveiwer Simply Reccommends This Game on the merrits of it Programmers, and the Integrity of the 1C Company, who developed the IL2 Sturmovik Combat Flight Simulator. I Encourage the purchase and Exploration of this Game, based on those criteria Alone I have nothing but compliments for Russian Programmers.

    Note: The Tomorrow War ended up being a 'middle of the road' game for me. It had a lot of potential, but one has to review based on what was, rather than what could have been. I was tossing up if I'd call it a very low positive review or a very high negative review. Given I think the 'average' gamer would struggle with it, I had to go the latter option. --- Old looking graphics. The internal visuals of people interacting look on par with Half Life 1, so late 90's, despite the game being…

    right so to start off your tutorial mission doesnt work, you come up behind the fighters your supposed to and they are simply just stuck there in mid air, when you talk there is a blinking red line that gets really freaking annoying

    This *should* have been quite a little gem of a game. Especially if 1C Company intended to sell it for the £2 price area, even if they'd finished it. Trouble is, they did NOT finish it. They got the bare bones of the game working, but even then, it was only 80 - 90% complete. All the remaining bug and quirk fixings, fully translating everything from Russian, polishing up and improvements to presentation would have made this five times the game it has been left in. Then again, I bet this would…

    This space sim comes with a fairly sharp learning curve. Blink and miss instructions and objectives. Hideous voice and script. Dated graphics. If there are any good points, the bad unfortunately blinded me to them.

    interesting game, but there is a bug on the rugby level, you cannot land on the asteroid you just sink through it, i have tried with quicksave 100 times, then i played and beat the rugby again and tried with more quicksaves 100s times, it sinks and explodes every time. so the game is unbeatable due to the gamebreaking bug.

    The Russians spend not so much money on combat space games, where you should fly and shoot. That looks a bit deplorably, because i like this theme of space very much. The Russians have a lot of ideas about space action, but the realisation is lagging behind. The first man in space (by Yuri Gagarin), the first woman in space (by Valentina Tereshkova), the first man outside a spacecraft (by Alexei Leonov), and they can't make a dignified space game. Its graphics isn't so bad, but all the rest…

    Enjoyed it, unfortunately the game is broken in Mission 18. After winning the Space Rugby Game you have to land near alien fighters. If this is successful an in game cut scene shows the successful landing of your fighter. Then a text message says: Alexandra is dead Happens all the time 5/5 It is not possible to finish this mission...

    Does a fairly poor job of introducing its characters, while the plot and plotpoints are thrown towards you with not much of a context. Graphics are not good when it comes to space combat, and outright terrible when it shows character interactions. The devs could have gone with an alternative artstyle that could helped them make the game more attractive while staying within budget. When it comes to sound I'm neutral to not very fond off. When it comes to voice overs, they are terrible. Music…

    I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…

    Based off of the books (and possibly the 2021 film?), the Tomorrow War is a game that had an interesting concept, but was poorly executed. My entire game-play, starting at the tutorial was littered with FPS drops and lag, janky controls as well as dialogue that's clearly translated to English from another language. The instructions and objectives also appeared briefly, that I ended up missing seeing several of them. So you'd better not blink if you want to know what you're doing. And lastly,…

    The game is confusing in its mechanics and hard to control and maneuver. The spaceship section is actually good looking and plays well, but it is way more confusing in its intentions to what to do and things like that. The game looks good overall, but the section that you speak with your fellow members of the space station does not make that much sense. But nothing really makes the game bad and unplayable. The game is pretty cheap too, so you can have a try at it and even wait for a price even…

    Well this one has a persistent stuttering, but the frame rate is more than adequate. Anything 60+ is fine for a live action games. This is an old dated looking space combat game. I was curious about this, but didn't need to be. I got the WC on Origin for dated old space shooter with an actual interesting and coherent plot.

    Pretty mediocre game that released out too late. Now it is irretrievably outdated and is suitable only for archaeological research. The graphics are primitive, there is no immersion, the fights are just boring. In addition, there are bugs, although this is no longer important.
