What players say

Players describe a mix of tower defense and RTS where you build and automate units on planets. Many note confusing tooltips and low unit visibility, while others appreciate the scale of up to 500 units and the 42-map campaign. Reviews split on whether it feels like a fun prototype or a half-baked game.
