The concept is fresh and minimalistic. The game teaches itself. Complex puzzles may look a bit too confusing due to the minimalistic style, thus drawing attention from the puzzle itself to the visual representation of the puzzle.
I like the game and would like to give it 4 stars. However, there is a blocking tutorial bug. Worse, this bug has been mentioned 2017 in the forum and was not fixed. The workaround is to start a new game and change the difficulty level.
I like the game and would love to give it a better rating. However, there are some drawbacks. 1. The tactic that almost works every time is to cluster your troops and wait for the enemy to come at you. Rushing often leads to failure. Nothing wrong with a passive approach, but the AI seems to know one tactic only. 2. The AI behaves ... interestingly. There is room for improvement. 3. The resource management of the underlying engine seems to be less than optimal, the special effects make my CPU sometimes jump to 100%. This game is so simple that any browser should be able to run it graphic wise. That said, if you enjoy passive-tactic and slow games, I would wait for a special offer. Last but not least I hope for improvements and maybe an extension. The game does not feel finished yet.
As the price is reduced, I thought to give this game a try. Glad I did, the game is good and I got hooked quickly. Good combination of preparation and action phase, providing an Arcade game feeling. The tech tree is a bit confusing at first. Also worth the full price.
