TL:DR good game but Ai needs balancing Ok, im going to give this a positive review because I want to support the dev, and I am enjoying the game, but I do feel the game needs a LITTLE tweaking. Mainly, the enemy AI faction. Not the plant faction. My main gripe is that the Ai cheats. Hard. It has no harvester, and you can destroy its power systems, yet it will pump out an ENDLESS supply of units. Every few minutes, 10s of units will flow out of its factories. There is no build time. Maybe its to keep you on your toes? Aside from that, the game is fun and having the research/upgrade tree keeps you coming back for more. Playing through an old mission with new tech is really enjoyable.
I Absolutely Love this game! If you're a Fan of oldskl C&C or Creeper World... You'll Love this game!!!! I've just purchased the game and played the first 5-6 levels, but to be crystal-clear, I was previously providing feedback within the "Play-tests" that I signed upto, pre-Early Access launch! This is why i've waited a while to see what the launch intaled and now i've dived in. So my feedback here, maybe a tad-squewed, as I was already familiar with most of the game mechanics etc due to being a "Play-Tester"... That being said... This game Continues to be Amazing! I waited awhile after the launch before buying & playing it... It seems the EA release has had an update or two... So I bit the bullet and made my purchase and at the time of this review: I've played through the first 5-6 levels! This game Sooo Reminds me of the old-skl C&C:Tiberiun Sun days... PVE-RTS @ It's finest if you ask me! This game is like a mating of(cross between) My two Ultimate RTS favourites: 'Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun' & 'Creeper World' I for one Love it! -=-=-=-=-=-=- To the Devs: I Thank you for not using any A.I to voice the campaign storyline! Personally I prefer reading text, than having an A.I voice over... So Thank you for NOT jumping on the disliked/hated A.I bandwagon! That being said, I think you'll get much more engagement if you can afford to hire a couple of real Voice actors to provide you with Voice-Over for the Campaign storyline. If you're waiting until the game is at v1.0, before doing so... that is also understandable, as highering real VO ppl is expensive. Ultimately I give this game a 9/10 in It's current state... Adding real (human Voiced) VO for the Campaign messages, would push it upto a 10/10! Imo! Fore anyone who enjoys PVE-RTS... You'll Love this game!
TL;DR: A solid RTS with good ideas, but overpriced for now and held back by frustrating time-gated mechanics. I wish RTS devs would forget about the clock except for "hold out" mission. Let me start with this: I can’t recommend the game at its current price. 25€ for a 17-mission campaign and 9 challenge missions that can be completed in under 10 hours feels too steep. And no, this isn’t a case of “you rushed the game.” Most missions are time-sensitive, and if you don’t meet those limits, you miss out on upgrades. Locking progression behind timed “optional” objectives feels like a cheap way to push players forward rather than letting them engage at their own pace. Pros: - The gameplay is solid. Resource management feels good, enemy pressure is well designed, and the overall ambiance works. - Fighting an alien plant life that slowly floods the map is a great RTS concept (very reminiscent of Creeper World). - The game looks and feels polished. - Units are very good at driving backwards, allowing easy retreat while maintaining your fire forward. Cons: - Time-gated optional objectives that directly impact progression. I don’t mind side objectives like defending a building on the other side of the map, but forcing players to finish missions under strict time limits (while also meeting additional constraints) just to unlock upgrades feels unnecessarily restrictive. - There’s a noticeable blur when zooming out on the map. This might be a setting issue, but it consistently affected readability for me. - Units feel a bit clunky. They're so good at driving backwards that after a forward formation move, they often end up facing the wrong direction; and since they can’t shoot backwards, this creates awkward situations. - Formation is not remembered. If you forget to space out your units, they snap back into a square. Overall, it’s a good game and a welcome addition to my library. I enjoyed it and will likely enjoy it more as additional content is released; but in its current state, it’s hard to justify the price.
I just completed the currently available campaign. It is alright. I'd recommend putting it on your Wishlist but don't buy it until it is on sale. $15 at full price is a better price point imo. When compared to C&C Remastered at a similar price point it is just way more simple of a game. It is repetitive and combat with the AI forces does not feel good as their actions are basic and easy to manipulate.
I love calyx. That's what hooked me - similar concept to creeper world series, you slowly and methodically get rid of pests. I hate liquidator. I dont like the mechanics of it - no economy, no mining, just increasing in power and spawning bigger and bigger waves of tanks. You can't hit its economy, but in most cases way to go is either letting calyx eat it, or drive around their tanks to kill the factory. Except last mission, where there's no calyx and you dont have that many options. All in all, I want more calyx and less liquidator. Research - I like secondary goals in missions to unlock more research points. Research itself however - I'd like more permanent/passive upgrades. When playing campaign, I don't really like this idea of starcraft-like having to start completely from scratch and unlock every single unit. Because of that, I've never built a single fire tank or fire turret, because I had other priorities, and by the time they were done - I was ready for my final push into enemies. I know there are some passive upgrades, like more damage and starting units, but I just hate that I have to unlock healer on every single map. Mining building throughput is also something to look at - early game my harvesters are almost always backed up and then I go into "harvester stopped" territory. It's also not very clear to me how the resources refresh and how many are availble at any time. Oh, and something about bulwarks - their range shows as 360, but it feels like they won't rotate their cannon completely behind them. Goliaths show it in their range. All in all, I like the game, hope you keep at it!
