What the press say...
Everything about this game SCREAMS high quality, commercial grade, PC game-period
PocketMatrix
Argentum will, by far, push the limits of the Pocket PC to a new level. With graphics that are able to compete with desktop PC games, Argentum can be described by nothing less than "stunning"
Pocketnow.com
The thing is, after playing for so many hours that my eyes wouldn't focus on anything more than a foot away, I didn't notice any shortcomings. The raw playability of the game kept me riveted. The graphics and sound convinced me to plug in the speakers from my desktop, and the number of missions and difficulty of the game kept me playing for hours.

Features
Argentum features a advanced graphics and game engine with many cool features.
Smooth landscapes
Argentum uses a smooth landscape with hills and valleys that not only makes the game more visually appealing but enhances the strategy elements of the game. No repetitive terrain in sight!
Realtime shadows
Hills casts shadows on units and flying units casts shadows on the ground.
Alpha blended sprites
Every sprite in Argentum uses alpha blending that allows them to be semitransparent. This eliminates "jaggies" on unit edges and allows the game to use smooth unit shadows, mindblowing explosions and amazing smoke effects!
Advanced AI
Enemies will attack you, and they will defend their base. Semper Fi!
Unit upgrades
There are many ways to success. Want to build a small powerful horde? Then research upgrades. There are unlimited upgrades, but they are not free. Want to have a huge army? Cut in on the upgrades and train soldiers instead. Choose your own strategy!
Unit groups
You can assign your selected units to a group which you can recall at any time. There are five slots you can save groups in.
Smoke
Damaged units and buildings that soon will collapse have a pillar of smoke coming out of them. Move a unit and the smoke will be as a trail behind it!
Advanced pathfinding
Argentum uses a custom pathfinding algorithm designed specifically with the performance of PocketPC's in mind.
Trajectories
Moving units great distances has never been clearer! Because you will see the path your soldiers will choose.
Automatic performance adjustment
The game detects the performance of the game in realtime and adjusts the game accordingly by reducing number of explosions and smoke. Generally you won't even see any visual difference, but you will still keep great framerates
Multi level gamma control
You can experience Argentum even in a poorly lit environment thanks to the gamma control options in the game. Devices with dark displays will also be able to enjoy Argentum as it was meant to be. Works great with the iPAQ 3800!
