it is so nice when you attack enemy Nexus and then you see an enourmous army of 1895 anti-air aircraft that crashes your pc, very cool game unless you don't ban aircraft when playing default ai bots. ;)

Enjoyed it as a single player campaign. Playing on hardest difficulty its challenging enough to have a good time. Wished the game would simply have much more single player content, ramping up different scenarios in the DLC , but that was overall underwhelming. To have a nice story to follow with big maps, thats really all you need for hours of enjoyment. Would love a new instance of this game, bigger, better and a focus on single player, as we sadly get so many multiplayer RTS games that are not as impressive. Games like Planetary Annihilation pushed into a 3D planetary sized RTS experience, which would probably work really nicely with Ashes of singularity, bringing the massive Dreadnoughts into the sky and space between multiple planets to expand the scale further. Beyond all Reason is a free RTS that this game could draw much inspiration from, a combination of Ashes and BAR would be the pinnacle of Large-Scale-RTS games.

This is a game that prioritises competent AI and large scale spectacular battles with little to no micro. The rest works adequately but got comparatively little focus. It's great it has a clear focus, but I feel like the these bits could get some love. -Since the focus seems to be large scale spectacular battles, I think it would make sense to have better camera controls (that are rebindable). -The units are hard to tell apart. Many have a similar silhouette and it's often not clear what a unit does by looking at it. Even if the little animation is needed for performance, more distinct models would be nice. -There are only 2 factions that do not play very different. This might be needed for the AI to be really good. -There's no retreat command. (not a lot of special commands either) You can send an army to the back, but they do it badly, so it's a bit annoying. Even if 'no micro' is a core idea of the game, I think repositioning an army is something that would fit the game well.

Ashes of the Singularity carries a familiar essence, particularly for fans of Supreme Commander. The influence is undeniable, and I could feel its spirit seeping through the gameplay. The campaign offers a solid, well-structured experience, while the multiplayer delivers the standard fare you’d expect from an RTS. That, in essence, is the theme of this game—it doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it delivers a polished and well-executed version of familiar mechanics. My biggest gripe is the unit design. Many units look too similar, which can make it difficult to differentiate them at a glance. Additionally, the two main factions, while distinct in playstyle, share a somewhat uniform aesthetic, which makes them feel less visually unique than they could be. On the positive side, the game excels in its command and control mechanics. The speed at which you can build, group, and maneuver your forces is impressive. The V key will quickly become your best friend, as it allows you to form cohesive armies that support one another effectively. However, the attack-move function can be a bit frustrating—frontline units will engage while those in the rear sometimes idle instead of pushing forward. The best workaround is to avoid attack-move and instead overshoot your target, ensuring your forces spread out and engage as intended. If you find Ashes of the Singularity on sale and have a soft spot for Supreme Commander, it’s absolutely worth picking up. I’ve had a great time with it, and despite some minor flaws, it delivers an enjoyable large-scale RTS experience.
