What players say
Very nice RTS if you like campaign with a story. I beat the game on normal difficulty and like it, except several final missions. They are a bit too hard. The rest is very interesting and fun. I recommend this game if you want to play squad-based RTS and want to get a nice story with cut scenes

This game is good. If you know what to expect, then you can have lots of fun with it. Don't get fooled by the mixed reviews. I played only the campaign, no skirmish or MP and it was worth it. The story is decent and no mission plays like the other. You control a few squads and heroes with different abilities and a rock - paper - scissor system. In most missions there are only 2-6 units to control, so don't expect...
