What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Oil Rush is a real-time strategy game set in a flooded post-apocalyptic world that players praise for its unique naval setting and graphics that hold up well visually, but criticize heavily for its awkward and unintuitive controls that undermine the gameplay experience. While some appreciate the core strategic concept and find it engaging, many feel the control scheme is so poorly designed that it significantly detracts from what could otherwise be an interesting RTS experience.

Massive remnants of cities protrude from the water, abandoned structures dot the horizon, and industrial complexes float across the seas. This visual identity immediately distinguishes the game from many other strategy titles and provides a strong foundation for its atmosphere. At its core, the gameplay revolves around controlling strategic locations rather than constructing tradit…1 found this helpful

Top tier game with an amazing gameplay and outstanding models and graphics.
Grafikblender. Taktik? Am Ar... Whoever designed the "controls" - go back trying to make a copy of Tetris. Shame that the awsome graphics, that even hold up today, got wasted for this trash. If u look for a simple, yet deep and challenging "tug of war" (search for that tag) RTS game, try Warpips. That one is amazing
