Counter Clash

Nice and smooth art style addictive game play

Wait until they fix pathfinding. It's horrible right now. I had an army of guards, archers, priests, and catapults and they would constantly wander through cactus and take damage. They also were separating themselves all over the place instead of staying in formation. It made it nearly impossible to keep my troops together as they made all sorts of weird patterns into areas that made no sense, even in open fields.

I really wanted to like this game. It has a nostalgic feel that reminded me of an old browser RTS I used to play when I was around 16 years old. Unfortunately, that nostalgia wasn't enough to make up for the game's many issues. The biggest problem is the balance. On Hard difficulty, many missions feel less challenging and more outright unfair. Enemies constantly spam units from multiple directions, forcing you to defend several fronts at once while somehow also finding opportunities to push forward. Instead of rewarding strategy, it often feels like you're fighting against overwhelming numbers. Pathfinding is another major issue, and judging by other reviews, I'm not the only one who noticed it. Units frequently ignore commands, take strange routes, or move somewhere completely different from where they were ordered. Trying to coordinate attacks or defenses becomes frustrating when your own units refuse to behave predictably. The unit balance itself also feels off. Some units seem far stronger than others, and certain missions become more about exploiting AI weaknesses than using actual tactics. The breaking point for me was the first mission of the Ura faction. Discovering that enemies can parachute units practically anywhere on the map after production felt ridiculous. It completely undermines map control and creates situations that feel more annoying than challenging. The achievements and difficulty settings also seem excessively tuned. What should be difficult often crosses the line into tedious and frustrating. This game has potential, but it desperately needs improvements to balancing, pathfinding, and mission design. As it stands, I genuinely regret spending €6 on it. Ironically, the old browser game that inspired my nostalgia had better balance and was completely free. I can't recommend it in its current state. I even deleted my videos on Youtube and the playlist. Cause this is a big NO GO
