From the bit that i've played this strategy game seems to be inspired in many ways by other various strategy games. Visually units look like they were inspired by Star Craft, Command & Conquer (the Tiberium Era), and Act of War with gameplay feeling very similar to Company of Heros where gathering resources for base building and unit production requires you to capture and hold strategic points and some game mechanics from the Focus Entertainment's "Wargame" series where units can get supressed while under overwhleming fire or paniced when bombarded by large explosives. There also seems to be a "Cover System" similar to Company of Heroes for infantry where moving them next to low cover will give them a defencive bonus (somethingh i noticed when one of my soldiers was engaged by another and knelt behind a disabled tank chasis that was part of the map, taking noticably less damage until he was flanked by another unit). The game can be played both in online multiplayer with pvp or player vr ai game modes and offline against ai in skirmish mode. Visual details and unit animation are very unpolished and the UI is very bare, but for an early access game for $4.99 it's functional and make…1 found this helpful
