Wait... so what the hell am I looking at, then?
It has installer and all missions. nothing missing.
Is it legal to upload it or anything?

Box scans, anyone?

Well then it's not vaporware.

It's plainly written 2004 on the box, so it doesn't fall under our 10 years rule...

This game actualy look interesting. There is no such things as a RTS/Adventure game. Those two genres completely clash together and can't mix.

Ok then... let's wait till' 2014.

I'd rather say it's TBS/RTS rather than RTS/adventure.

There are 3 modes:
Turn based
Each unit has limited movement which it can use every turn.

Half/Half
You can move your units while the timer is ticking down.

Real-Time
Every 30 seconds, another day starts, producing units, resources, e.t.c.

Original War is a turn based RTS. However, it mean that you can pause the game whenever you wish, and that it's practically impossible to win if you don't 'cause it's a very hardcore strategy game. You can't win Original war by simply rushing units to their death like the vast majority of RTS games...

Xcom: Apocalypse could be considered a turn based RTS too...

True... because most of the time, the maps are too large to play turn-Based.

Nothing new really. Except it being for 12+ rather than 6+ as said on my scan.
