How it feels

A fast-paced, scalable real-time strategy game that feels like commanding massive swarms of units on a retro-modern battlefield.

What players say

Players praise the modding community for extending the game's life, but many note development stalled years ago. The game is lightweight and runs on anything, with an AI that can be terrifying on higher difficulties. Multiplayer matchmaking is inconsistent, and the community is split between those who enjoy the vanilla game and those who rely on mods to fix balance issues.
