8-Bit Invaders! 8/10 if you like games like Generals ZH EA GAMES A fun and simple RTS. My biggest problem is that you have to micromanage units, because if they're getting attacked by a unit out of their range, they'll just get shot to death. There aren't any units that are overall O.P. unless specifically designed, so units are well balanced. Maps are full and do well in creating many blind spots and choke points. Campaign missions can be challenging, but achievable given some trial and error.

At first glance, the game showed promise, but ultimately it failed to engage me. Victory hinges entirely on who amasses troops the fastest - the more identical production buildings you construct, the quicker your army assembles, allowing you to flood the battlefield with hundreds of units. This constant production rush quickly grows tiresome. The optional mission objectives feel like a frantic add-on: since they're almost always timed, you're forced to clear each map under pressure just to earn bonus rewards. I find these timed challenges frustrating and unfulfilling. That all being said, the core gameplay loop lacks depth and delivers no real strategic or tactical engagement. The AI-controlled harvesters make matters worse: they wander off in search of resources only to be picked off by the enemy. Meanwhile, the remaining elements - art style, sound effects, and controls - are all decidedly average. Overall, the experience is bland and unsatisfying. I can't recommend this game.

Good Game. Mission target are better than 8-bits armies. The multiverse conquest is ok. Got annoyed at the computer attacking me every sec with one units...
