Really fun base building game. Pick a hero, build up an army and walls and survive waves

Nov. 2025

I came here to write a review because the whole “abandonware” chorus around this game is honestly ridiculous. People seem to have a very unrealistic idea of what “game development” is supposed to look like. This game is complete. Finished. Done. Could more be added? Sure — more can always be added to any game. That’s not the same thing as being unfinished. Multiplayer works perfectly fine and isn’t buggy. If you’re having issues, it’s probably something on your end — this game uses peer-to-peer connections and doesn’t rely on dedicated servers. At launch there were a few hiccups, yes, but they were patched long ago. I play regularly in co-op from the east coast of the US (In Canada) with someone on the west coast of the US — zero problems other than the occasional, very brief pause. Everything that was promised on the roadmap was released. The only area that could use some extra love is the campaign, but it’s there, and it works. For those born after 2000, let me remind you: games used to come on discs. Once released, that was it. If you were lucky, you got a small downloadable patch later on — not an endless stream of post-release updates to babysit your attention span. Would I like to see more content someday, maybe even some DLC? Of course. But as it stands, the game is fun, finished, and absolutely playable. It’s not worth full price — but it goes on sale often, and at that price, it’s a great buy. If you want to see what an abandoned game looks like - go look at 'Towns'.

This game is really fun, im shocked it's no longer being supported, kinda weird -- it has a ton of potential

June 2025

Okay so, I've just finished the game and I want to give my impressions while they're fresh, if you want a short answer I will say my opinion is mostly positive I'm going to focus mainly on the campaign, though I could update this review after a couple of rounds of survival mode Graphics wise it looks okay, the models and textures are well-defined, but the animations are funky, there are no transitionary interpolations between the animations of idling, fighting and running, everyone just snaps into action, it looks weird I've also suffered several stutterings through the game, even when I set the graphics to medium, and it crashed once during the final battle One thing I did not like was that most of Volatist units were copy and pasted from the Order and Rebellion factions without giving them a unique look, a pallet swap + recolored unit image would have been sufficient The story is serviceable, it's neither enthralling drama nor fantasy slop, it's okay for it what it offers, the ending was ... I wouldn't say abrupt, but I do think that a final cutscene in the style of the initial cinematic would have been beneficial What irked me was the structure design for the levels, you would think that because this is an RTS similar to They Are Billions you mainly fend off against hordes of monsters (in this case Nightmares) while slowing expanding your base, but this idea only applies to a fourth of the campaign, the rest of it plays like a regular campaign of any other fantasy strategy game I think their line of reasoning was "well, since the player can experience the survival challenge through the survival mode, we should offer something else in the narrative campaign" which is an understandable logic, but one I don't agree with, the campaign should have been an opportunity to hand-craft survival levels to make the player enjoy unique scenarios that procedural generation cannot offer, and then connect them through a narrative context, the campaign present here in make the Nightmares feel more like a background set ... not a great look I've also encountered several design decisions that I think were misguided, like how the units don't stay glued to one place and could end up being accidentally dragged by other groups, I had the same problem in another game from another studio, Spellforce 3, I don't know why this problem seems to exist in both projects I also suspect that the Alderin were supposed to be the fourth playable race, but were cut halfway through, though this is outside the scope of this review So why, despite my gripes, I'm still giving it a positive review? Because the core idea works, and I enjoyed my time with it, plus the developers are actively fixing and refining the game with patches, so it's possible that in the future some of the issues I had are going to be fixed in the future

April 2025

Latest patch fixed many of the multiplayer issues, finally able to play coop survival and it is great fun, highly recommend. I don't understand the reviews about this being a dead game, they only released a patch this week, maybe people don't appreciate how long it takes to fix issues? Either way, check it out especially playing with a friend.
