Supreme Commander and it's Expansion Pack Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance were released back in 2007. It was a massive-scale RTS game that tried to carve it's own niche outside of popular competitors like Starcraft in the Golden Age of RTS games by utilizing Massive Maps and having unit caps of up to 1000, having experimental behemoths on the battlefield and abandoning a traditional minimap. The game was a commercial success but was quickly forgotten

Today we will be replaying this gem of a game for a hint of nostalgia, a breath of fresh air, from microtransaction riddled games of average quality. Does this game still hold up?
