Wow! What is it with these one-man Devs who LOVE making games that are so hard and unbalanced that they are simply unplayable!?!! Don't they play their own games, at least once, before releasing them??! Sad fact: This game could have been better than the original one it tries to emulate. . . But instead this dev only made a harder version! Also no updates, patches, or anything since Dec 2021! An easy 'hard' pass (pun intended) for me!

Fun and challenging indie RTS. Wide array of units upon initial release and I can't wait to see what comes from this game and the developer's other projects down the line.
Strategical thinking = 10/10! ART = 11/10! Waiting for a sequel!++
This game is awesome! It's a perfect blend of RTS action and casual building and management. There's a lot of freedom and different strategies to play with, so it's fun to experiment in it! There's also a ton of levels + harder expert levels, which is a good challenge. Will be coming back to this for a while!
Fun, cute, and intense. A cheap and small game, fun for quick playthroughs. And a good challenge!
A fun Casual TD game to pass some relaxing time.
A ton of fun. This game doesn't require a lot of commitment which is nice since each level is short, but they're all pretty difficult and require some trial and error. Different strategies also add replayability to it.
This is the a RTS game which you gotta respect. It will require a lot of logical thinking and strategy to win. I loved to play it and die, die, and die again hahaha This is that game that brings the adrenaline in your veins.
5 out of 5 would recommend! Simplistic with a great aesthetic. The game is pretty straight forward and even with its simple design it has all the bells and whistles of other RTS games. Honestly its a unique experience because normally RTS take attention and lots of thought but I personally felt a chill vibe while playing. The interface is pretty clean and the music choice is on point. The base game itself is very fun to play but I can see a lot of potential for this game in the future. Check it out for yourself!
Cute and fun strategy game with a surprising amount of content for the price. A lot of levels and variety with units/strategies. Plays smoothly too.
