3000 AD is a retro-style mechwarrior game where you are a disciple of one warlord faction on the brink of space and must destroy another warlord’s faction to gain control. This game embodies the classic Mech-Commander game pretty well, but its not without its flaws. The control layout is solid with A,S,D,W as movement, mouse to fire, and space to fire the missile. However, the one major problem with this game I had was that the contrast between your character, the enemies, and the background was not great enough.

Sometimes during a heated firefight, I had trouble wondering where my guy or the enemies were because they blended too much into the background. Bright colors for the enemy and your character would have helped a lot. Another thing is the difficulty. I had trouble avoiding enemy fire while firing at them(partially because I found it hard to see some of them). I usually had my health knocked down pretty far after just one or two waves and the missions were seemingly impossible to complete at times. The difficulty of the game needs to be toned down for casual gamers to truly enjoy. Nontheless, gameplay was pretty solid and if you were a mech-commander fan, you’ll probably enjoy this game.
