What players say

Players are split on They Are Billions. Many praise the core survival mode as a uniquely challenging RTS base-builder, but the campaign draws heavy criticism for its ironman saves, a punishing skill tree that can softlock progress, and tedious dungeon missions. Frequent complaints include poor pathfinding and a brutal difficulty curve.
