This is a fun game which has a lot of problems; too many problems to warrant a positive review. First of all, the mechanics are great if you like hex based strategy combat games which I certainly do. It has great unit variation, and you can use all different sorts of combinations which can be effective. The level design is pretty good too, and there are some really great custom maps on the steam workshop. However, there are 2 distinct MAJOR problems with this game. The first, and the biggest problem, is that the AI is absolutely terrible. I played through the entire campaign as well as all the steam workshop levels managing to beat them all without losing a single unit. Now, this would be harder to do if you used bad unit combinations, but you shouldn't have to try and limit yourself like that especially when there are so many different combinations you can use effectively (and to be honest you would probably still be able to do this regardless of what units you used).

This is an abandoned early access/beta slightly cartoony turn based strategy where you control units on a hex map. While the game works it lacks polish. The real problem here is that they're charging a preposterous $20 for a clunky, limited, cartoony turn based strategy game which is objectively inferior to most of the other more serious turn based strategy games on Steam. Did these guys do any market research at all? Do they not know that PC gamers don't like games that look and feel like mobile games, and that PC gamers don't pay PC prices for mobile quality games? Did they not look at all the other, cheaper, better turn based strategy games before making one that was worse, and charging more for it? Rant over, don't waste your time with these guys like I did.1 found this helpful
If you buy it at full price, you will be disappointed. If you buy it at 67% off, you won't be disappointed.
AWESOME! Its a simple tactical war game. You can build your own or play the game's maps or other people's maps.
