Mechanics

The game is an RTS. It is divided into two campaigns, each telling the story of one side of the conflict. Similarly to Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, we can complete subsequent missions alone or in cooperation with another player. The gameplay itself is somewhat different than that of the preceding games. Starting out, we choose one of three walking machines, the so-called Crawlers, which are the backbone of all our operations on the battlefield. If we select an offensive machine, we can produce land units. A defensive vehicle lets us erect defensive structures, while the support machine gives us access to air forces and extra powers such as area-of-effect attacks. Mining raw materials was also altered – in Tiberian Twilight, we don’t have to collect Tibierium for the purposes of production. Units can be freely trained until we reach the maximum capacity.

Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight also introduces a number of innovations that influence the fast-paced and seamless gameplay. The developers preserved the most important elements of the series, although they did implement division into classes, mobile bases, and player statistics that can be developed with each game mode. The title also features achievements that are special tasks that the player can complete both in the story campaign and during online play.

Multiplayer, which emphasizes the completion of mission objectives, is an important part of Command & Conquer 4. Up to ten players (5vs5) can compete in online matches. The key to victory is cooperation.
