I have a hate-love relationship with this game.
(WARNING: TERRIBLY WRITTEN REVIEW AHEAD)
On one hand its absolutely awful, things are terribly explained and not really labelled well. If the units on the construction UI had their names visible it would be more understandable for new players. Adding a proper tutorial rather than a YouTube video is heavily needed.
The game also suffers from pretty crap music, which can just kind of get painful to listen to repeatedly.
Another issue would be how you play the game, you can do PVE but its mainly just tower defence and PVP is possible but essentially impossible due to the non-existent player base. Since this game has base building mechanics and a PVE mode wouldn't it make sense to also have a mode where you fight a proper AI player that builds their own base and attacks you with forces it constructs? It takes inspiration from Total Annihilation, so you would expect proper enemy AI rather than just a tower defence game mode of all things.
Despite the many issues it has, i just have some weird fascination with it. Its terrible, yes, but playing the game is surprisingly fun with the large amounts of units available ranging from land, air, sea and hover which is impressive. The games experimental units are especially fun, due to how destructive they can be. I know i complained about tower defence being the main game mode, but it is still very fun to play depending on the difficulty chosen. The difficulty is insane in this game, with the obviously low difficulties being easy ranging from 1-10, but as soon as you enter anything higher it becomes hella difficult. Maybe I'm just ♥♥♥♥ at the game.
I don't know if i actually enjoy the game or i'm just insane from the amount of Garfield Kart: Furious Racing I have played.
(I'm not sure if i actually recommend people should play this, so I just defaulted it to yes.)
