Enough so if you love those game I could see you not enjoying this. Other games...

Not playable from level 12 whith that stupid timer. No medkit for sometimes also very stupid. People like my 75 who play slow want to have fun !!! I play rts games since 1999 . But i hate timer games.

Sadly, not many developers care about that these days. + Setting... I guess. Just trying to find something good here. Cons: - Tutorial. It's awful. I had a lot of questions while completeing it. Why to make 5 waypoints which do nothing and...
