Great game for indie dev, unfortunately can't be taken seriously with the way the movement physics works: everything can just push through everything else. So the game map becomes very meaningless with bigger armies, nothing can stand in your way, you can just literally push anything together and annihilate it all with area-damage death-ball attacks. That. Or you cannot stop anything from passing you if it is tankier and faster than you. Leads to frustrating and comedic micro that breaks immersion of gaming very quick.

From Command & Conquer, it takes in-field pickups like resource crates and medkits. There are buildings to occupy with infantry. The rubber frame is selecting the entire army instead of being limited to packs. The original ideas is combining houses and the second resource into one building, and forcing territory spread by tracking the "heat" load on a square grid, giving big penalties to "heat"-dependant buildings in the overheated square. The story is full of cool buzzword writing. So, Microslope was ordered to break up by court, so now Naver, Alibaba, and Yandex fight over their assets. You mine space unobtainium and space crypto, the campaign even tracks the story stonks. The campaign is 12-missions long and is fun enough, with a couple of cool gimmicky maps. Despite the maps having resource crates the strategy is closer to Dune 2. Wait and defend while accumulating an army and then attack. But since defence towers are literally useless and even peasants destroy them, and they demand nouncraft costs investment and have to be spread out due to …
