This is by far the rarest gem in Steam Store. It is an RTS game with complex mechanics yet with easy controls. It's always a great fun to boot this up an replay the campaign.
I want to play this more. I want to love it more, but the controls. You somehow made an RTS with tank controls. It's not as bad as Zomboid, but man. It's a good game but the controls hurt it for me
Loads of weapons and items, some very unusual soldiers with odd special abilities, and a teddy bear as a potential soldier. What's not to like?

Super fun game, can't wait to play more! The strategy and unit customization is really fun.
童年时我曾玩过这款游戏,那时我对电子游戏还懵懂无知,这也是我人生中接触的第一款电子游戏。它新颖的设计与有趣的玩法曾让我深深沉迷,我由衷地喜爱它。如今我体验过许多更优质的游戏作品,偶然在商城看到这款游戏便买下重温,可游玩时却只觉得它简陋的 UI 和玩法略显乏味。或许这款游戏早已不再适合现在的我,对此我满心愧疚 —— 我早已不是那个对一切新鲜事物、对每一款游戏都充满好奇与热忱的孩童了。因此我希望申请退款,这款游戏依旧是一部优秀的作品,只是我再游玩时,如同味觉衰退的老者品尝珍馐,明知其绝佳,却再也无法体会到当年的乐趣。 I played this game during my childhood. Back then, I knew little about video games, and this was the very first video game I ever experienced. Its innovative design and fun gameplay had me utterly hooked, and I truly loved it. Now that I’ve played many better games, I bought this one again when I came across it in the store by chance. However, I found its simple UI and gameplay boring this time. Maybe this game is no longer suitable for me. I feel ashamed about it—I’m no longer the curious, enthusiastic kid who found joy and interest in every game and every fun thing. I hope to get a refund for this game. It’s still an amazing work, but playing it now feels like an elderly person with a dulled taste buds tasting delicacies: I know it’s excellent, but I just can’t feel the joy anymore.
Well done mobile port with immense strategy. Plays well on huge screens or tiny (4k or phone). Completely touch screen friendly as well so pure perfection for those into the genre on Tablets! Just buy it on sale, you will most likely be quite happy with the decision!
Surprisingly good for what it is. Looks like there's no microtransactions too, at least on PC.
A Chinese industrial sci-fi Biopunk RTS strategy that harkens back to the hard sci-fi of the 80s. Gameplay-wise, you have a wide array of troops and tactics to utilize. The game is very different depending on how you play it; its real-time but with tactical pause to give orders to units. How you play depends on what kinds of troops you use and what equipment they have. While this game is a mobile port, the PC version is nicely integrated, and rarely did I encounter issues.
Pretty cool game. The controls for pc could be better though, but I guess that's what happens when you try to make the game work on touchscreens and mouse+keyboard at the same time. I'd separate those modes instead
A Very Hard Game. if you don't pay attention and think before you do something your probably going lose a few people or one maps case go deep in the negative on cash. A piece of advice learn the aim/fire keys, lines of covering fire and read your squads perks or look up the wiki.
