How it feels

A strategic wargame that feels like commanding a vast army with deliberate, customizable battles and a methodical campaign.

What players say

Players praise it as an addictive RTS throwback that scratches the Command and Conquer itch, and it runs well on both PC and mobile. But they are split on quality versus the original, and note that controls feel unwieldy and the online population is tiny. A common complaint is an impossible difficulty spike on level 7.
