Although an older game, TRIUMPH! has managed to exceed my excpectations on it's reception. It became a classic in a very short time and is a fun shooter/action/arcade game that apeals to many! You play as 1 of 4 (up to 4 players).
Triumph! War 2099 is a real-time tactics game where up to 4 players battle the Kratte aliens. TRIUMPH! is a addictive action shooter of army-sized proportions. You control a space marine squad leader who can command other marines with simple instructions (Attack, Defend, or Follow) and summon reinforcements by stepping on eagle emblems. Commanding your troops and blasting your own way through 9 levels of mayhem.
There’s nothing superhuman about your character – he’s just like any other grunt except that he has the ability to issue simple commands and summon reinforcements. As such, the game does a great job of making you feel like you’re part of a large-scale war, up to 50 guys on the screen, depending on your settings.
Unfortunately, the AI of your fellow marines is pretty useless, and they’ll get slaughtered quickly by the vicious Krattes, who are a lot more mobile and seem more intelligent, too. In many of the missions you’ll want to lead a marine into a safe corner and away from the battle – so long as there’s one other guy on the map you can keep respawning. I don’t know what kind of basic training these guys had, but some of them don’t even seem to know how to fire a gun.
Still, Triumph! War 2099 is a really entertaining game and well worth trying, especially if you have a friend (or three) to play with. I played through it recently with my friend Andy Hull and we had a great time. It holds up surprisingly well and is a testament to how enjoyable it can be to play a game where you’re not a lonely hero.
