The rock-paper-scissors system is even flat-out broken in some regards. Tiberian Twilight has a small unit cap, incentivizing the player to accumulate as much firepower as they can within their strike force. Thanks to heavy armor and a long health bar, both the Mastodon and the Widow will last longer than most other units and gain promotions that last. The strongest units in the GDI and Nod arsenals are the Mastodon and the Widow, both of which are so powerful that once they are accessible, there is little reason to build anything else. The power level between the different units still varies a lot. While it looks good on paper and works fine for other real-time strategy games, this system is undermined a number of factors. Tiberian Twilight uses a rock-paper-scissors system, with every GDI unit being efficient against a specific Nod unit and vice versa. Every Crawler has access to six different units that will be unlocked over the course of the campaign. The Crawler itself has a gun, but the majority of the fighting will be done by the units it produces. After their introduction in the first two tutorial-like missions, the player can pick whatever Crawler they want for the next mission, and also chose whether they want to side with GDI or Nod.

The third Support Crawler, heavy on air support, did not make the jump from the Windows version. That is all the base building one gets in Tiberian Twilight. The Offensive Crawler has the more powerful units, whereas the Defensive Crawler can set up defense structures around itself.

The Crawler is a bulky and heavily armored vehicle that, once deployed, can in turn deploy other units to the battlefield. The Crawlers received a mixed reception, as their introduction meant the end of traditional base building in the Command & Conquer series. However, the game does introduce the concept of the Crawler, both in-universe and with regards to gameplay. Those who skip this game here – which will the vast majority – will have no trouble following the plot of the core games of the series. While a nice little addition, the events of Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight, barely add to the series’ overarching storyline. In the majority of missions, the player is asked to assist a secret agent, establish a base here, destroy an enemy base there, and do other tasks that are more or less standard practice for a strategy game. There are a twist or two, but for the most part, the story is pretty basic. On the GDI side of things, orders are issued by Colonel Louise James, a main character in the Windows version of Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight, and General Raven. Instead, they receive their orders from Kane and Brother Marcus, a high-ranking Nod commander. The player does not, however, work for the separatists. The separatists, to whom Tiberium is sacred, seek to destroy it. GDI wants to establish the so-called Tiberium Control Network, a global net of nodes designed to contain Tiberium. The plot covers the Incursion War between GDI and Nod separatists hostile to both GDI and Kane, the mysterious leader of the Brotherhood of Nod. Meanwhile, Earth is being ravaged by an ever-growing alien crystal named Tiberium.Ĭommand & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight offers two campaigns with a total of twelve missions. The player takes the role of an unnamed commander of either the Global Defense Initiative or the Brotherhood of Nod, two superpowers fighting for the control of Earth. Like Command & Conquer: Red Alert Mobile and its iOS cousin, Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight bridges the plot of two main entries and is set between Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars and the Windows version of Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight. Nevertheless, Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight received an adaptation of the same name for Java-based mobile phones. The plot brought the story of the Tiberium universe to a lukewarm conclusion, and the game was clearly geared towards competitive multiplayer. Reactions of long-term Command & Conquer fans were rather negative, as the game did not include many traditional real-time strategy elements such as base building or resource gathering. The Windows version of Command & Conquer 4: Tiberian Twilight received mixed reviews.
