An Unbalanced Callback
Okay, so I generally dislike leaving negative reviews. So I'll give you the reasons why I ENJOY this game first. It's a callback, point-blank, unabashedly to Warcraft 2. The art-style, the units, the everything. It's a love letter to old titles that I really loved playing as a kid. If you enjoy those then you'll enjoy this. It has a sense of humor and it's quirky. Plus I love the aesthetic. It's a simple RTS but it's got charm. That being said. This game is wildly unbalanced. I had to put it down after the first three campaign missions out of frustration, which is something I don't really do. Mission three has you going up against a vast array of 'Chaos' forces (with a small cadre of humans showing up to try and wreck you). And it is... borderline impossible as far as I can tell. I played this on 'normal' difficulty, and the ONLY GOLD MINE I HAD ran dry before I could actually challenge the enemy camps. And throughout the mission the enemy is hurling an ungodly amount of units at you and they will wreck your normal units with ease. I had all of the available unit upgrades purchased and they were basically wet toilet paper against the enemy. My immediate inclination was that I wasn't grasping a concept of the strategy I was supposed to be using, but by the third try I think the enemy units are just... better. And the lack of back-up gold mines, which I could not find because I couldn't explore without letting my base get wrecked wound up with me being unable to even train new units anyway. Which means you have to be VERY careful where you spend your resources because when that mine is gone, it's over. The writing and voice acting is also very mediocre, but I'd give it a pass because it feels like it was made with a lot of love. I really didn't enjoy it but you might have better luck. If you enjoy older RTS titles it's at least worth a shot and it's, as far as I can tell, free here and on Steam so it's not like you're going to be wasting money.
