Supreme Commander Review

With conquering the galaxy as your objective, Supreme Commander takes the player into epic real-time battles on large maps with hundreds of units. Players will find their patience rewarded by an RTS that captures the scale of an interplanetary war in a way few other games can manage. Experienced RTS players will find plenty to like, even if some aspects of the game fall flat.

Story

Supreme Commander takes place in the closing days of a thousand-year war between three factions. They are the United Earth Federation, the Cybran Nation, and the Aeon Illuminate: space fascists, cyborg revolutionaries, and technologically-advanced religious fanatics, respectively. After a millennium of war, the Federation is slowly being pushed back on all fronts. However, its secret weapon of mass destruction, called Black Sun, could change that.

There’s not much else to say about the story of Supreme Commander. It does a decent job of stringing the missions together. You might find yourself liking one or two characters more than others. There is even a bit of intrigue surrounding the internal politics of the Aeon Illuminate.
