❤ Accessible yet Challenging Real-Time Strategy

Players praise the game for striking a balance between being easy to learn and hard to master. Newcomers can jump right in, while veterans find enough depth and complexity to satisfy their RTS cravings.

❤ Streamlined Base Building and Unit Management

The game features a "hive mind" approach to building construction, where multiple copies of the same building type increase production speed. This, combined with the lack of unit caps, allows players to focus more on strategic positioning and troop movement rather than tedious base management.

❤ Engaging AI Opponents

Reviewers highlight the challenging yet fair AI opponents, noting that the AI is "so hard, you'll be begging for mercy," even on lower difficulty settings. The AI acts with intelligence, preventing games from becoming mindless "blobfests" and forcing players to employ strategic thinking.

❤ Variety of Unit Types and Playstyles

The game offers a diverse array of land, air, and naval units, allowing players to experiment with different strategies and playstyles. The introduction of naval combat adds an additional layer of strategic depth.

❤ Rewarding Progression System

The progression system, which allows players to unlock new units and upgrades by completing side objectives and missions, has been praised for providing a sense of meaningful progression and encouraging replayability. The "medal" system, which rewards players for completing optional objectives, adds an extra layer of challenge and incentive to revisit levels.

❤ Multiplayer and Co-op Functionality

The robust multiplayer and co-op functionality, which supports up to 8-player battles, has been well-received, providing opportunities for large-scale, chaotic battles.
