Probably the second worst campaign I ever played. The zombies are fun but everything after is just complete garbage. You either play how the level was designed or you lose. On all difficulties. You also unlock things over time to use in the campaign. Doesn't matter. Got a cool ability? Don't care. Got a cool new building? Hope it works into the level. If not, you're not using it. The ending level was the biggest slap in the face too. The alien race is completely useless except for it's terribly overpowered titan. If you beat the red faction and YOU WILL as the tank doesn't self heal like every other one does, you have 5 minutes to win. In character? Sure! Is it fun? No. You forgot to make it fun. And then you have to beat every other titan. If you didn't plan ahead, you lose. If you can't corner it, you lose. Then when you do win you unlock global conquest. Essentially, flood the entire map with units and the rest of the map doesn't REALLY matter except for building defences. One of the biggest let downs ever. You had a good premise at the start of the campaign. Stop FORCING a playstyle after you introduce a few of them. Let the campaign be a challenge to be taken from multiple…5 found this helpful
Dude what the ♥♥♥♥ this is so chill and fun, if you have a controller you have to give this a shot2 found this helpful
A fun, chaotic, fast paced strategy game with a surprising amount of variety under the hood. Extra credit for the overly dramatic missile strikes and aggressive explosion audio peaking.2 found this helpful
Simple, chaotic, charming. It can be quite Micro heavy in some missions, but the overall experience is great! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a simple yet intense RTS/turret defence hybrid.2 found this helpful
Ein sehr tolles casual RTS mit überraschender Tiefe. Die Missionen und Kämpfe gehen nur sehr selten länger als 10 Minuten. Die Kampagne ist fordernd und sehr abwechslungsreich. Die Fraktionen fühlen sich unterschiedlich an und durch die vielen Kombinationsmöglichkeiten zwischen Fraktion, Fähigkeiten und Gebäuden sind wirklich krass. Es gibt relativ viel Freizuschalten, nach der Kampagne hat man noch nicht alles! Die verschiedenen Spielmodi sind cool und vielfältig: Horde, Skirmish und sogar 4X mit Runden gibt es. Mankos: Es ist nicht immer alles gut ersichtlich oder erklärt, Eigenschaften von Einheiten, Regionen und Gebäude sind nicht immer eindeutig nachvollziehbar. Mir persönlich geht sehr schnell die Puste aus, weil einfach so vieles gleichzeitig passiert und gerade der letzte Modus ist auf Dauer kaum auszuhalten. Es macht wirklich Spaß und es gibt noch einiges freizuschalten - die Trailer geben nicht wirklich preis was in dem Spiel drin steckt. Es ist besser man spielt mal ein zwei runden um zu verstehenh, ob das Spiel zu einem passt, oder nicht.1 found this helpful
honestly, a really fun and creative game with three different factions that are very distinct. if you read this, buy it. i played through the campaign in around ca 8 hours. Honestly no regrets, after you finish the campaign you unlock a new mode that i have yet to try. But yeah 10/10 for me personally1 found this helpful
