This game is a LOT of fun....especially if you're a fan of old school RTS. It reminds me of playing Starcraft, Warcraft or Command and Conquer. I'm really glad I got this game as I can spend hours and hours on it. It's also great for someone starting in RTS.

people are saying that this is just reskin of previous game, and it's kinda true, but game still feels different. Maybe it's balance or specific units. I definitely recommend to give a shot for this game, but maybe not for full price. Music is still awesome, keep it up, Frank!
