What players say
Look don't get me wrong this game is great and I love the aesthetic. But definitely from a design perspective you can get a bigger bang for your buck from other games. The campaign is also really frustrating and not fun to play, and the way you control is great in concept but annoying in gameplay.
Very cool graphics, but the game isn't that interesting. You character is basically just a slow mouse cursor, so that it can be moved with a controller. You can't do anything interesting with your character, you can't move your camera quickly to a location to see what's happening. Just very awkward controls for a strategy game. And the story was just all over the place. I couldn't find a skirmish mode against the AI...
Really cool idea, great music, and funny almost timeless feeling story in the vein of animal farm that begs, pleads on it's hands and knees, prays to a higher power that it was a real RTS and not this clunky, over simplified console moba thing it, unfortunately, is. All I wanted to do the whole time I was playing was rip the character away from the camera and just do regular APM and base building micromanagement...
