This is an absolutely amazing first title, and my only complaint is that it's too short lol. if i could request a single feature, a level editor with workshop support could, potentially, provide infinite replayability to this game. but as is, i had about 4 hours of fun and i don't regret a penny I spent.

Pros: Great game, lots of fun Cons: I beat it on expert in a single day and now I have nothing more to play from it :c (also shoutouts to GiantGrantGames, bought the game after watching his vid)

Good and fun game but 15eur for ~5h of gameplay is a bit expensive. A skirmish mode or custom maps would be a great addition.

I absolutely loved this game! It's a wee short, I finished a normal campaign run-through in about 5.5 hours of methodical gameplay. I just wish it was longer, but I am sure there is more to come. You'll be familiar with this general style of game if you've ever played Creeper World or alike titles. You can expect a challenge, but also for everything to be feasibly possible with the right strategies.

Paid 15$ for 3,5h gameplay... I can't be mad since this game is mostly about logistics, so something I like a lot and overall it is very fun game but I really think it should'nt have been so short, though on the other hand it also didnt drag itself for too long I will still recommend it but beware that there is not alot of content

This is a real gem. The core concept (RTS with no units) isn't even the main draw here. It's the way the concept is executed that I adore. Finding points of failure in enemy networks, stealing infrastructure, and crashing fortresses into defensive lines is all extremely satisfying. The design of the buildings is very elegant; everything has a very clear and distinct use. There's really no bloat here. However, the game is quite short. It's only a campaign, which took me 6 hours on the medium difficulty. So, the price might turn you off. Still, what's here is very good, and more is in the works. Obviously, it would be great if there were multiplayer, or even just AI skirmishes. I can only imagine that, if this game gets a sequel with multiplayer, it will be equal parts delightful and infuriating. I recommend it very highly, provided you don't mind the length. If you do, you should probably keep an eye on it, and on the developer. They've made a very strong debut.

So far so good! Having a lot of fun with the back and forth capture mechanics. It's really satisfying to cut off chunks of AI's base and claim it for yourself. Planning to go through and beat it on expert. It's been a good challenge!

Pretty fun! unique take on an RTS. Only a few levels into it but thus far really enjoying the game. It's well designed and the levels are though out.

Honestly, this is a very satisfying little RTS. I would love to see them add workshop content just to see what other people can come up with for level design.
