Z: Steel Soldiers - The Frustrating and Disappointing Robot RTS (Bitmap Brothers, 2001)

Z: Steel Soldiers was the follow up to 1996's "Z", a real-time stratergy game featuring fun but dumb robots in an unspecified future war. The 2001 version is more akin to a regular RTS, but due to a long list of problems was never any fun to play. Let's take a look at Steel Soldiers and explain at a base level why it's more frustrating than it is fun.
