How it feels

A chaotic, physics-driven real-time strategy game where you command swarms of robots and manipulate terrain in fast, intense battles.

What players say

Players praise the smart AI, unit variety, and free price but are split on solo play, with some finding the AI frustrating in single-player. The game is compared to Total Annihilation and Warzone 2100, though some prefer Beyond All Reason. Linux support is missing.
