What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Players praise the game as a fun, original real-time strategy experience with solid campaign, survival, and versus modes that recall classic RTS titles like Red Alert. However, common complaints center on quality-of-life issues: unskippable campaign cutscenes, units that require constant manual orders instead of auto-attacking, lack of formation controls that cause positioning problems, poor audio design, and missing features like time pause and faction variety in custom games.

The timer is stressful and the lack of shoot-while-moving sucks

Not for me but I can see why osmeone would like it... Much more of a blizzard RTS fan boy than a Red Alert fan... Even Tempest Rising, which was good, didn't manage to retain me... I mean, AOE effects and damage is good, but why should the ennemy have tons of it and your troops basically have no formation to not waste 25 troops supposed to be good against tanks on a single rocket launcher tank...

Welcome to C&C Tib da- ... Wait a second, this isn't a C&C title? forking bullshite, it play's like old C&C... the lore isn't a million miles away from old C&C The factions are very C&C inspired, and it's made by not westwood! 9-Bit armies, is... basically an old C&C game in new skin and I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ love it for it. if other RTS Titles aren't scratching a C&C itch, this or tempest rising very well might. I'm not gonna say it's perfect though, some mission difficulties are a bit much. and it devolves rather quickly into building mega turrets and spamming tanks or boats, and getting a few helicopters so your units can use their range... which isn't a bad thing it's just repetitive... The campaign has you tech locked until you beat a mission, which is certainly a nice improvement over the older C&C tech locking where you're tech locked on a mission by mission basis. this does mean you can bring *Not* Mammoth tanks to the first mission and absolutely dumpster the AI, but honestly, that's fun. Overall, this is fun I'd say it's worth even full price, but for those of you who bough 8-bit armies and it's DLC or the like, I'd wait for a sale.
