Graphics/Interface (3 out of 5)

Global Warfare

The game looks great and the interface is easy to use but has a few problems. The first problem with Global Warfare’s interface is that it is quite small in your browser. It would be nice if the game occupied just a bit more space. On the plus side, the game map is easy to navigate and the cities are clearly labeled. The game could also use a full screen mode. When sending gifts to your Facebook friends you need to reload the game when going back to it, which is a bit annoying. Overall, the negative points are minor and the game is still good.

Multiplayer (5 out of 5)

Like most browser RTS games, there’s a multiplayer element to this game. You can join an alliance or create one yourself for added game play. It’s a good idea to become a part of an alliance since you’ll need one to progress in the game. With Facebook friends you can also send them gifts such as resource packs and you can have them help build your structures which decreases the build time one minute for each friends that is helping you. Your friends will get a special reward for helping you with your structure. This process also works for technology research too.

Conclusion (4 out of 5)

While the game doesn’t offer anything that new it’s still a fun game that RTS browser game fans will enjoy playing. Be sure to join an alliance to get the most out of the game and do the quests to gain valuable early resources and gold.
