How it feels

A brisk, pixelated RTS that feels like commanding toy soldiers in a chaotic, colorful battlefield with constant explosions and lighthearted mayhem.

What players say

Players praise the music and LAN multiplayer, but split sharply on difficulty and design. Many find missions impossibly hard even on easy, with poorly balanced factions where one is far weaker. Others complain that units won't auto-attack, fonts are tiny, and slow cutscenes lack a speed-up.
