I played this game when it first came out, and was playing it right up until the day the servers shut down. I'm sad that I can start again where I left off at endgame, as it took me years to get there. Regardless, it's amazing to have it back and to play through the story again from the start. It's a grind, for sure, and it totally is the "freemium" style of games from a bygone era, but the nostalgia I get from playing for 15-20 minutes twice a day or so is worth it for me. The story is absolutely amazing though.

heavy tf2 beats any composition I can output and requires zero decision making. demoman is an even worse offender. Why use any other unit in pvp when two heavies can kill my entire army while I am TRYNG to get through a 230 hp block of pure cheese? You killed one or BOTH heavys? Good luck fighting the rest 5 or 6 enemy units with whatever you have left bozo. It does not matter that I know the person on the other end of the screen will repeatedly alternate betweeen the two heavys and dealing hundreds of damage every activation. I have no way of preventing it.

Used to play this in middle school all the time when it came out. Then i noticed one day it was delisted from the app store. Great idle game, glad to have found it here.

This is a game that I enjoyed when I was young, so I am very happy to play it now that it has been restored by other original fans of the game. It has compelling world building, a good sense of humor, and most importantly a satisfying gameplay loop.

I used to play this game growing up. Now that the game is back, it is the exact same & just as fun! Looks great on the computer too. 10/10

I slapped the ♥♥♥♥ out of homeless people, and got a canon to the face.
