Decent Little Game
The single biggest problem with this game is its pause screen. Like every game, it gives you a list of options, including "continue/unpause" and "quit." Most of my other games put "continue/unpause" at the bottom of the list. This game puts "quit" at the bottom. So I have frequently clicked "quit" when I meant to continue. This wouldn't be a problem if, like most games, they gave a "are you sure you want to quit?" warning. But no. Click that bottom button and your game is over immediately. I've accidentally ended about a dozen games that way. Otherwise, I think the game itself is fine. I saw several reviews complaining that it is too easy. That's not quite right. There are plenty of way to make the game hard, even impossibly hard, if that's what you want. But it is true that the game is fairly simple, in the sense that it doesn't take much work to understand the mechanics, and most games follow a similar strategy. I will also say that this is the first RTS game I've ever played that truly broke me of my habit of "turtling." I am the most defensive player in the world, but this game basically forces you to adopt an aggressively offensive strategy every time. So the games are fast-paced and short lived. And there's something to be said for that.
Is this helpful to you?
