"Pixel Wars" is a badly made and abandoned 2D retro pixel PvP RTS... with no players, for obvious reasons. Like, how drunk do you have to be to sit down and think, "Hey, what Steam needs is like, Starcraft, but with way shallower gameplay and really crap graphics!". Only the developer knows how bad their hangover was. You can't really play this game as intended because there's no players. Developers must learn that PvP, other players, are not an acceptable substitute for creating content. Without content, and without players, bad games die fast. As this did. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics.

Super fun to play. A tutorial wouldnt hurt to have but it does well without it. Once you get into it, it is really seamless to play and a good time!

I enjoyed playing the game, it took me a bit to know what buttons to push. Tutorial would be helpful or just a ui for layout.
