Disclaimer: This was €1. Regardless of that? It's awesome! Even at the full price, I'd still recommend it for some mindless fun. Just be aware the game is slightly janky and the multiplayer is basically dead -- it's one of those games that really needs other players to reach it's full potential, so maybe try and get some buddies to play with you. Graphics: Stylish as hell for a 2000's Source game. Things are a little muddy and grainy, but it's exactly what you'd expect for the time and done well. Combat: Really fun. It's nothing you haven't seen in other Source games, but it feels punchy and enjoyable. The roster of weapons is pretty awesome too. RTS: Basic, but good. This isn't an RTS game with FPS elements - it's an FPS with RTS elements. There's a selection of structures and about a dozen research options. It's not deep, it's not complex, but that's kind of it's charm. Very easy to pick up and understand and quite an addictive loop if you're playing Commander. (And you will, since bots can't do it.) It's more a game of attrition or checkers than chess. There's not much to say about it. It's a very simple, but enjoyable game that's dirt cheap at worst and almost free at best. Try it. Especially if you only have an hour to kill or want a game for quick pick-ups. It should run on basically any system as well from 2011 to now.

Of course, it is sad that this game is dead now, but I really liked it. There is really no replacement for this, which is sad. The concept was really something else and I hope we will see some game in the future, making use of this RTS+FPS style.

Pretty entertaining and fun to play with strangers on the internet. Nowadays the graphics are probably a bit dated but the gameplay is good. Reminds me of the good old 'Starsiege: Tribes' game.
