Impressive zoom effects enable players to analyze ships and planets right down to the finest detail. The special effects are simply breathtaking, with dynamic lighting, lifelike shadows and reflections, as well as precisely located damage, making the game incredibly realistic and affording it unmatched graphic beauty. Reminiscent of a Hollywood blockbuster, the twenty minutes of cinematic in Hegemonia: Legions of Iron are quite stunning. The film accompanies not only the single and classic multi- player modes but also the other multiplayer modes (8 or 16 players), and ranges from the deathmatch, skirmish to the co- operative mode, with fully customisable units. Great care has been taken with the AI, such an essential element in a strategy game. The hundreds of units can not only maintain their flight formations - a great bonus for the gameplay - but they also react intelligently to all game situations according to their characteristics and those of their crews.
