Armada: Asteroids, The RPG

by kjell1979 kjell1979 is a Lead on Epinions in Games, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 18 '06
Pros: multiplayer, great action, decent story, challenging
Cons: repetitive gameplay, short, unbalanced races, subpar graphics and voice acting
Armada was originally intended on being the one of the first multiplayer online games for the Dreamcast. Even more exciting was how it was also going to be a MMORPG or massively multiplayer online roleplaying game like Phantasy Star Online and World of ...

The Armada is Coming!!!

by Horhay Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Dec 10 '01
Pros: Huge, lots of enemies, addicting at times, multiplayer
Cons: Control, repetitive, familiar objectives
Story: Although Armada tries a little too hard at trying to be a plot driven game, it ultimately lacks substance. It’s your typical human and other types of beings saving civilization. Planets and the final frontier are being attacked ...

3-d asteroids? nope, much more to it

by sephiroth2000 , Aug 24 '00
Pros: graphics, concept
Cons: boring
Certainly most people consider this game the sleeper hit of the year for dreamcast, but I disagree, I personally don’t see where all the excitement comes from. I thought this game, while it looked ok, was utterly boring, sure I’ve heard that once you get...

When MORE Isn't Always BETTER.

by mwcarter , Nov 25 '00
Pros: Great Idea, Plenty of Playtime & Lots of Races to Play As
Cons: Less than inspired gameplay, repetitive mission objectives.
Overview: No genre goes back as far as the shooter. The first computer game, the 2 player Space War, was a shooter, with subsequent titles, such as the classic Asteroids, being more complete versions of that original concept. In many ways, Armada could...

Well done shooter.

by ImThinking , Jun 25 '00
Pros: It's frickin huge.
Cons: It's too frickin huge sometimes.
The main objective of this game is to follow the instructions of the people in your community. They direct you on what has to be done, and where you need to go to do it.

GRAPHICS: The graphics are quite well, not spectacular, but what do...

Asteroids!? On my Dreamcast!?

by JAMankiller , Jan 26 '00
Pros: Mind numbing fun!

I remember playing "Asteroids" with my brother on warm, sunny Saturday afternoons. There we were rotating a small triangle ship shooting at acid trip colored asteroids watching them quickly break up. The game was surprisingly addictive....

I'll Give it an Award

by BobDole901 , Apr 09 '00
Pros: Multiplayer, long
Cons: Repetitive gameplay
I read reviews for this game that described it as "Gauntlet in space" or "a mixture between Gauntlet and Asteroids." While I have always been a fan of the gauntlet series, I thought this game would be perfect for me. After playing...

Wait for Armada II

by byronm , Oct 05 '00
Pros: Graphics, Interesting Idea.
Cons: No online play, Low replay value
I bought this game the day it came out. Reading the back cover made it look fun and entertaining. I'm not disappointed with the game, but it certainly hasn't been played since the first week i bought it. This is one of those games you either hate it or...

Cons: Not much variety, Story line lacking
During winter break this year, my friend had just gotten a Dreamcast for christmas and still had some holiday cash to spend. So we drove down to our local computer store to see what we could blow the cash on. He picked up Armada cause he had read some...

Space RPG?

by FourX11gd , Feb 08 '00
Pros: Good multi-player, Good ideas
Cons: Graphics, no ending, ideas needed to be expanded upon.
I have to admit I was somewhat pleasantly suprized with the way Armada turned out. Armada for all intents and purposes is a Space Action/Adventure/RPG. Very similar in line's with Gauntlet Legends. This game is much more fun with friends to play it...

This is the 90's version of Asteroids

by PsiEdge , Dec 20 '99
Pros: Highly addictive, nice multiplayer
Cons: Not really good to play alone, must have VMU to save and not memory card


Talk about Asteroids on steroids. That is the first impression I got when I bought this game. However, is that really a bad thing? At the initial sit-down with this game, I was not that impressed. But, after spending some time with...

Pros: Fun from the get-go
Cons: needs to be longer
OK where to begin, this game is about a group of civilizations from space all of whom are descended from humans. There are 6 races i believe, each adapted to there own environments so each has different attributes ie: like so and so race has more speed...
