The islands that the game takes place on are realized in lush greens and deep browns; a fog sets in over the place during the night, only to be pierced by the light of the morning.

 Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising Review - Page 2 - The Gamers Temple
One of the game's great features is the radio chatter heard during the missions; units report enemy contacts, congratulate and taunt each other - you can even hear intercepted enemy transmissions reporting on the damage you've done.
Hostile Waters is one of those rare games that add several innovative new concepts to the genre and pull them off masterfully.
Even though Hostile Waters gives the player the option to jump in and take control of a unit, you'll find the AI to be so good that you can concentrate on directing the team's overall strategy without having to control the units yourself.

 AVault | PC | Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
As a sign of how different Hostile Waters is from other modern computer releases, its story reverses traditional premises.
One of the elements which really makes Hostile Waters shine is the role of "Soulcatcher" chips, where you may equip any military unit you construct with an electronic chip containing the knowledge, skills and personalities of dead soldiers.
It is ironic that you become more attached to dead people in Hostile Waters -- and learn more about their personalities and past exploits -- than you do to most live people in traditional real-time strategy offerings.

 IGN: Hostile Waters: Antaeus Rising Review
Hostile Waters manages to grab a lot of great ideas from a few different genres and titles and throw them together with a fairly interesting story to create quite a likeable game.
The scheme of the game works on the premise that as captain of the Antaeus, you have the ability to generate a number of vehicles from the nanofactory by scavenging pieces of metal from the various islands that you float around.
All of this is fine and dandy, but the game wasn't without its share of problems, almost all of which resided in the area of AI.

 Science Fiction Game Reviews
The two things that allow HW:AR to be billed as a strategy/action game are that players don't have to spend any time creating factories to create their units, and that players can take control of any of their units at any time and fly them themselves.
The game automatically pauses while the player is giving orders on this screen or building units in the build screen.
With practice, it may be possible to rein in units using the real-time command interface, but using the tactical display to order all the computer units out of the fire zone and then mopping up with a player-controlled unit works right out of the box.

Hostile Waters is not only a superb PC game it's actually one of the very best games I've ever played.
The game's excellent story, action elements, de-emphasis on repetitive base building, and largely automated resource collection ensure that even the most jaded real-time strategy player will find something fresh and exciting in Hostile Waters.
