A small preliminary review. It can be summed up with, i've had a blast with this game thus far and am eagerly awaiting what i think will shape up to be a detailed, unique and interesting take on strategy/3rd/1st person gameplay. The incoming updates (that we can see- helpfully their are 'coming soon' tags on certain buildings and units- will increase its depth and scale and allow for full-scale rampant warfare. Some key 'loves': The Setting- One faction in thus far (and i haven't really poked around much for longter-term hints and notifications on what's up next) and i love the style and 'lore' i guess that they seem to have- cyber-demons..rocking concept, reminds me very much of 'Sacrafice' or 'Atrox' (Ironic being this game could be argued to be a blend of the two concepts!), so the devs clearly have a vivid imagination and a very 'dark' take on their game-world. Something which frankly is awesome. The 'flow': The ease of transition between stratgy mode and first/3rd person is ...

First impression, I give it a 5/10 which is a decent score for an Alpha. I bought it for $15 which bumps it up to a 6/10. While I probably won't play it again until I get a better video card, it's certainly just as good if not better than other active RTS games found on Steam, which isn't saying much because there really aren't very many active RTS games on Steam. I only had to wait a few seconds before it matched me against someone in multiplayer so that's good. It seems that the resources are self-generated by your main building, so I don't believe there are any resources to harvest on the map so that's a bit disappointing and limits the strategic scope of the map. My 1GB video card barely meets minimum requirements and so the screen freezes every 7 to 10 seconds for a split second which can get kind of annoying but I'm not entirely sure if it's because of my video card. I have 16GB of RAM. The graphics reminds me a bit of 2004/2005 and doesn't seem very 2017ish. The concept ...

it has a good idea. but it hasn't been updated since august 2017 and there's still quite a bit missing. There are 5 units in the game not counting the ship you get at the start of each game. you can only control 4 of the five units. one of the four units you can control (The drone) does not have abilities or attacks, giving you no reason to use it for anything other than wallbuilding. the lack of offensive and or defensive units make this feel like a weird game of rock paper scissors instead of an RTS. there's a siege unit which is just overpowered. it can usually oneshot the other units. the siege unit cannot be controlled which is kind of a letdown. also as far as i can tell there are no flying units, but you can get anti air towers.

SO FAR SO GOOD, has a great concpet and they had new factions with there own uniqe units
