lol get it on sale, its ok at best

Great game but is kinda dead.

very good concept but it need more work and it can easily become the next C&C

stupid stupid game! Probably one of the lowest priced games I have purchased, yet I cannot stop playing! very high recommended if you like RTS

Functional Some interesting ideas Really not anything to right home about. Only get if you're an RTS enthusiast and you HAVE to try something new. They really should put a "maybe" button.

Had to request a refund. Simply unfinished and not enjoyable..

This game is very addicting and its not too complex to start out if you are new to RTS games. Even though starcraft 2 is now free, this game still has a lot to offer. For one if you aren't into sci-fi as much and more into realism then this is for you. Also I love how you can level up your units and give them different weapons. Also with effects like suppresion and crossfire it feels fresh. People have compared this game to older command&conquer games. I haven't really played C&C so I cant say to much on that. Great to play with friends. Give this game a try.

From the bit that i've played this strategy game seems to be inspired in many ways by other various strategy games. Visually units look like they were inspired by Star Craft, Command & Conquer (the Tiberium Era), and Act of War with gameplay feeling very similar to Company of Heros where gathering resources for base building and unit production requires you to capture and hold strategic points and some game mechanics from the Focus Entertainment's "Wargame" series where units can get supressed while under overwhleming fire or paniced when bombarded by large explosives. There also seems to be a "Cover System" similar to Company of Heroes for infantry where moving them next to low cover will give them a defencive bonus (somethingh i noticed when one of my soldiers was engaged by another and knelt behind a disabled tank chasis that was part of the map, taking noticably less damage until he was flanked by another unit). The game can be played both in online multiplayer with pvp or player vr ai game modes and offline against ai in skirmish mode. Visual details and unit animation are very unpolished and the UI is very bare, but for an early access game for $4.99 it's functional and makes for an entertaining "poor-mans" RTS. Personally I'd prefer games like 8-bit Armies when it comes to basic/simplified strategy games but i can honestly say that this game is fairly decent and I hope the developers continue working on it and improving on what they have so far. With a little polish this game can actually be a fun and affordable alternative to the mainstream strategy games today. Currently, if i had to rate it, I'd give it a 7 out of 10, just enough above average for a recommendation due to the fair price for a functional, early build.

too fun to stop... so glad getting this game u can keep moving around to tease a lone tank up close with just a single infantry because the tank got a kind of slow turret turning speed, although the little guy cant really hurt that steel block in front, but can still do silly damage to its tracks and rear projectile and unit physics are well done moral and verterancy systems are really fun to mess with too some advice: sight radius changes happen too fast, its like one second ago u can see 200m but next second only 20m... how about make the daylight and weather changes happen slower in slepts? need long-sight scouts, maybe give basic infantry binocular and nightvision upgrades? sight system could use some work, in addition to existing round-shape field of view, a further cone-shape field of view which can be blocked by terrain and unit wreckage maybe? woulde like to have weapon range and stealth detection indicators for both mine and enemy units when selected. infantry knockdown and getup animations can be more vivid... this game shows a lot of portential, surely a must try if you are a hardcore RTS and tactical gamer like me looking forward to see this game become a masterpiece!
