How it feels

Feels like a chaotic yet methodical military sandbox where you carve your own path through persistent battles, coordinating with AI and players to gain rank and turn the tide.

What players say

Players say the core loop is fun but gets repetitive, with frustrating late missions where AI allies are useless and enemies spawn endlessly. PvP is near dead, so the community lives through co-op and mods like Warhammer 40k or Girls Frontline. Technical gripes include no multi-monitor support and a freeze on closing.
