How it feels

A deep, customizable real-time strategy game where you engineer every aspect of your faction's units and economy against a bleak climate-wracked backdrop.

What players say

Players praise the ability to design your own faction but find the unit customization limited to a few meaningful parts. The campaign is criticized for having no tutorial and relying on brute force, while the AI is often seen as brutally hard. Multiplayer is reportedly non-functional or dead. The music by Frank Klepacki is a highlight.
