Gameplay

72 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
9-Bit also continues 8-bits simplification of well-known RTS mechanics, which is honestly absolutely amazing and is doing wonders for the genre.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The single-player campaign is engaging, with a well-paced progression that keeps you hooked.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Petroglyph improved co-op and made it the main dish this time (the UI really wants you to play with friends now), they've added dailies, similar to what we had in, say, Age of Empires (a thing that I always believed to be stupid), there's a survival mode, TV mode (similar to what we had in C&C at some point), etc.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has two amazing factions with a classic C&C style dynamic between them, timeless modern military setting, it has awesome graphics with that iconic Lego-style pixel artstyle that run smooth as butter, it's feature rich to the brim and it addresses a lot of common complaints that we RTS fans have and strives to provide the exact experience that we have always wanted!
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The multiplayer mode is robust, offering a variety of game types including skirmishes and cooperative missions.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack is a wonderful mix of retro chiptunes and modern beats, perfectly complementing the game’s aesthetic.
