    A great simple RTS that is easy to learn but challenging to master. Had a lot of fun playing this with some friends of mine. Finally another game that supports coop campaign! in short: a lot of fun for a small price! Go for it!

    Stumbled upon this game, found I really enjoy it. So I play it (from new Zealand) with friends in Europe.
    Great game, well made.

    Good job!

    Very cool!

    Tried campaign mode first, and the game introduced me to all gameplay mechanics to get going in the first few levels. It's the 'easy to learn, hard to master' type of game, allowing you to discover more depth as you play along. As you get a bit further in the game, there can be lots of action going on on your screen at the same time, like troops marching to their target,    Very cool!

    As you get a bit further in the game, there can be lots of action going on on your screen at the same time,
    like troops marching to their target, bases spewing out bots, and lots of good looking explosions.
    But it's never chaotic in a sense that you don't know what's happening. The indicators for the attacking enemies add a lot of clarity for the player to make them know which enemies to prioritize. My only minor complaint here is that the health bars could do with a bit of extra readability.

    The game balance is really solid, and the AI is fun to play against.
    Once the AI difficulty started to ramp up in the campaign mode, the game got me in the zone. Get this: The AI had a solid baseline of bomb and rocket spawners, and he was shredding through my lines of defense. After about 10 minutes of play, I got kicked down and my base lost 12 out of its 20 total hitpoints. But he started to get greedy, and built lots of spawners near my base
    (I guess to try and overpower me at that moment). Having a horde of enemy troops coming at me, I decided to use a very well placed death ray, destroying most of the enemy troops in front, and demolishing the spawners he placed. This gave me an opportunity to gain back some territory and fight back. The battle continued for 34 minutes, after which I won the game. It was so satisfying getting the upper hand after such a long and engaging battle!

    All said and done, the game offers a glorious balance between strategy and action, to enjoy alone or with your friends, together or versus eachother.

    9/10, would play again.    … Expand

    Fun little RTS game. Easy to pick, but turns into a competitive tug-of-war quite quickly.
    Easy to understand, good presentation and a satisfying challenge even against the AI.

    Took me back to the old RTS Days , the campaign learned me the ropes of the game.
    Afterwards i dove into the battle mode with my brother.
    We had a lot of fun, would definitely recommend it for the price range!

    Cool game, the campaign is fun and pretty hard at the end. It took me about 2 hours to finish. I really like that friends can join any time.
