How it feels

You command a tiny, desperate resistance against an overwhelming, indifferent machine intelligence, fighting a slow, tactical war of attrition where every move must be carefully calculated.

What players say

Players love the unique asymmetric challenge of fighting a vastly stronger AI through guerrilla tactics, but caution that difficulty spikes sharply around level 6-7. The game supports long sessions and can slow down with massive fleets, while some find the UI dated and a few suggest AI War 2 is the better choice.
