I very like this RTS game!

Awesome game with a cool art style and loads of potential, 10/10

It's interesting, but it needs a tutorial. I have no idea how to play. I couldn't even find an in-game manual '~'

Not too bad. Nice and simple. Easy to quickly pickup and play.

This game is worse than any RTS I can think of, including the free ones. Super clunky, no tech trees, no resource scarcity, boring units. These are the only elements you need to make an RTS better than this: 1) capture points that give different resources 2) basic unit stats (movespeed, health, range, damage vs different units, line of sight) 3) drag-select and attack-move with decent pathfinding And that could be done in a few days. So I don't know what this game is trying to do. Best parts of this game are the art and the work put into the map editor / campaign. Amazing free RTS include: Starcraft 2, OpenRA, Beyond All Reason, Istrolid, Age of Empires Online.

The $1 price point is fitting for this game, particularly since it looks like it won't be developed any further. Extremely simple RTS, but it does an ok job of it. Looks like more effort was put into the map editor than the game itself though. Matches go fairly quickly, which is good since there's no option to save games. There are some other limitations too; the tutorial was presented in an extremely basic fashion, matches only support 2 players, AI seems ok sometimes but other times not (seemed to struggle with islands), and workers are less intelligent than average, particularly when told to build multiple buildings. Also the extremely simplified graphics make it a bit hard to tell what is going on during battles, and loading and unloading rafts is pretty clunky. The music is not original but credit is given, and it's fine except I was a bit surprised that there was a rendition of "we 3 kings" in the mix.
