Forged Battalion

I really wanted to like this game, especially because the idea of customising your own units is genuinely cool. Unfortunately, the execution just isn’t there. The very first mission drops you straight into what feels like a skirmish, with the only instruction from the AI commander being “Destroy the enemy team.” That’s it. No explanation of mechanics, no guidance on strategy, and no proper tutorial to ease you in. I’ve played plenty of RTS games, so I managed to pick things up fairly quickly, but even then it feels like being thrown in at the deep end. New players would be completely lost. Gameplay quickly boils down to unit spam: build units, get attacked, defend, push back, then repeat. The enemy has access to more unit types early on, yet the game never explains unit counters, base-building priorities, or even why certain upgrades are locked. Instead of learning through play, you’re left guessing. To make matters worse, every explanation of how the game works is hidden behind walls of text buried in menus. There’s no clear, hands-on teaching during missions, which makes the learning process feel tedious rather than engaging. It also makes some baffling design choices, like giving you a super weapon in the very first mission. This completely kills any sense of progression or balance and undermines what should be an introductory learning phase. There’s a solid idea at the core of this game, and credit where it’s due for trying something different with customisation. But the lack of structure, meaningful guidance, and thoughtful pacing makes the whole experience feel rushed and poorly designed. I can’t recommend it in its current state. Overall, I’d give this game a 3/10. Those points are for the customisation system and the attempt to do something new compared to other RTS games, but it falls short due to weak design and lacklustre execution. I picked this up through Humble Bundle, but if I’d paid full price, I’d be genuinely disappointed.

6/10 Its a great game with lots of potential. Customizing your own faction is awesome and I have only seen other gameplay like that in Impossible Creatures. The Campaign difficulty is crazy compaired to Skirmish mode and should be nerfed for new players. Some sort of passive income structure for a longer late game could also be a + in my book, not a must. The servers for the game seems down, so playing multiplayer seems impossible. If you just want a fun little game for singleplayer and you like the playstyle, then its great game and for the price I would say you could get your moneys worth of it. And the music is great. But otherwise I would recommend finding something else, if you dont mind animal RTS then the prior mentioned Impossible Creatures is a funny old game with an active modding community.

best game i ever played

Ich hatte mehr erwartet und doch hats für ein paar Stunden Spass gereicht. Eher für erfahrene RTS-Spieler. Alt+Enter für Fenster- und Vollbild-Umschaltung funktioniert gut, wie auch Alt-Tab zurück zum Desktop; wenn das technische klappt, dann sind für mich bei einem Game schon die wichtigsten Grundpfeiler gelegt. Kampagne ist oke, natürlich nicht so opulent wie bei einem C&C; sagen wir mal Daumen horizontal.

寻路和单位碰撞做的比较一般，导致指挥起来很头疼 运营上很类似命令与征服系列了，挺不错的 问题在于科技点需要肝，解锁不了科技没法修改兵牌 所以PVP和PVE都会有不平衡的情况

Bardzo fajny i przyjemny RTS. Niestety uważam, że twórcy za szybko porzucili grę przy czym zmarnowali potencjał. Po co wydawać 8 czy 9bit armies skoro to gorsze gry? Szkoda wielka szkoda.

Another dead game, don't bother.

Classic RTS - Lovely!

This game scratches that old school RTS itch I have had for a long time. Customizing vehicles is a huge plus also. Lots of fun.
