Pixel Wars

"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. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. The developer was charging $5 USD for this.

Its design is clearly aimed at people who want the basic satisfaction of building a base, producing troops, and fighting another player without first spending hours learning an extensive collection of mechanics. One of the most noticeable aspects of the game is how deliberately limited its strategic toolkit is. There are five types of buildings and six different units available, keeping the number of systems players need to understand relatively small. This makes matches easy to grasp, particularly for newcomers to the RTS genre. Instead of constantly consulting complicated upgrade paths, attention can remain on expanding the base, producing an effective force, positioning troops, and responding to enemy movements. The tradeoff is reduced long-term depth. Veterans accustomed to RTS games containing huge armies, specialized…

Fun, casual experience that is great for beginners wanting to try an RTS game or for friends looking to knock out a quick match. Games are fast but with some surprising tactical depth. Could use a little polish but the graphics are cute and charming, and the unit voiceovers had me chuckling the whole time

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.

is good game. was able to figure it out pretty quick but a tutorial would help
