Forged Battalion

2 things: 1:fine idea but very limted compared to games over 20 years old like warzone 2100 or impossible creatures which is fine cause most newer games are. 2: what i cant come over is that multiplayer does not work it keeps popping up "host Launched the match connecting to game servers" and wont start ever, solo play works instantly but MP simply does not work, also i send a steam invite to my mate, 2 hours later he got it from the game (now noted the player i wanted to play with have slow/buggy internet so might try with another one and see if its better) TLDR: If you want to play this game as a solo player then fine, if you want multiplayer find another game

the concept of making custom units is a superb and one that is unexplored. the customisation in this feels pointless, no aesthetic choices, and the units all blend together. I grinded for all the late game weapons and my units felt inadequate for the campaign the difficulty is all over the place some missions you can just slaughter the ai and other times its impossible, also the units have no shooting sounds so your just listening to the ambience of the game and the unit voicelines but whenever there is combat your only notification is the music changing.

This game scratches that old school RTS itch I have had for a long time. Customizing vehicles is a huge plus also. Lots of fun.

The game is great in my opinion. I hope Devs get back to it and improve it's performance, graphic, and A.I . The game really deserves further developements.

I really wanted to like this game, especially because the idea of customising your own units is genuinely cool. Unfortunately, the execution just isn’t there. The very first mission drops you straight into what feels like a skirmish, with the only instruction from the AI commander being “Destroy the enemy team.” That’s it. No explanation of mechanics, no guidance on strategy, and no proper tutorial to ease you in. I’ve played plenty of RTS games, so I managed to pick things up fairly quickly, but even then it feels like being thrown in at the deep end. New players would be completely lost. Gameplay quickly boils down to unit spam: build units, get attacked, defend, push back, then repeat. The enemy has access to more unit types early on, yet the game never explains unit counters, base-building priorities, or even why certain upgrades are locked. Instead of learning through play, you’re left guessing. To make matters worse, every explanation of how the game works is hidden behind walls of text buried in menus. There’s no clear, hands-on teaching during missions, which makes the learning process feel tedious rather than engaging. It also makes some baffling design choices, like g…

Abandoning this without adding achievements ain't cool. I might even play this mid as ♥♥♥♥ game if it had them since I love RTS.
