Command and Conquer are one of the most important videogame franchises in history, one that appeared for the first time in the mid-'90s, and that, with its successive installments, managed to become one of the players' favorites. In this particular case, we want to focus on the first title of the saga, Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn, which undoubtedly deserves a separate chapter.

C&C Tiberian Dawn, as we will call it from now on, is a real-time strategy title that we can enjoy on our computer, no matter how old it is since it has a relatively minimal resource consumption for these times. This is not a minor fact because it will also influence its graphics, which, although attractive, are typical of a title with almost a quarter of a century under its belt.

Everything starts in C&C Tiberian Dawn when an asteroid hits the Earth, destroying most of its surface and modifying our planet and its characteristics forever. From that moment on, we become aware of the Brotherhood of Nod, which wants to exploit the residual material of that asteroid. At the same time, the military unit GDI also arises, which aims to prevent its advance at any cost.

Here begins the exciting part because unlike what happens in other games, even the best ones, C&C Tiberian Dawn does not force us to take a position, but we can select which side we want to be on. You will have to choose which of the units you decide to control in the middle of the First Tiberian War, although you must remember that to be part of the Nod brotherhood, you need to download a specific expansion.

But it's not just a matter of deciding which side we want to represent and, therefore, what our primary objectives will be; we also have the possibility of selecting the game mode we want to entertain ourselves in our way. The first of the modes is the traditionalCampaign,in which we will have to complete a series of objectives assigned to us, while we have theMultiplayer,to confront users from all over the world.

As you can see, the versatility of the fun that C&C Tiberian Dawn proposes is undoubtedly one of the most exciting points this application offers. Not all games allow you to select both mode and position. This also makes the entertainment much more lasting because if you get bored of playing in one way, you can immediately try to play in another.

But regardless of the type of game you have decided to play, the action in C&C Tiberian Dawn is constant since you will always see a succession of attacks by ground troops, air bombardments, and many others. The important thing will always be to keep your bases far from the enemies' reach because once they reach it, if they destroy it, everything will be over.

A detail that has caught our attention when playing C&C Tiberian Dawn is the appearance of a series of presentations in the best style of a movie theater, even with panels of advertisements and news of what is happening on the battlefront. This complimentary issue does not make the game itself but undoubtedly adds to the overall evaluation.

Regarding the graphics of C&C Tiberian Dawn, you should know that they are not very different from what we can expect for a game with more than 20 years of existence, starting from a distant plane in which the details are practically indistinguishable. That is the spirit of this game saga, so we consider that although it is incomparable with the current title, it has the necessary essence to conquer the players.

If you want to know what are for us the main strong points of C&C Tiberian Dawn, you have to know that we liked, above all, the constant action, and it is that in a few moments, our troops have remained in tranquility. Choosing which side to be on in the battle also differs from other titles.

The worst thing about C&C Tiberian Dawn, in case we have to mention some issues, is that the direct comparison with the following saga installments could play against it since it is clear that those improved their entertainment proposal. The game has no bumps and is very well done, although some contents require the previous download of specific extensions.

In conclusion, C&C Tiberian Dawn is a game that you should not fail to install on your computer if you consider yourself a fan of those historical sagas that have marked a before and after, especially considering that it was the first installment of the saga. Getting various forms of fun from the many game modes is simply spectacular for this real-time strategy title.
