Audio

19 of 158 sampled reviews raised it
It also has a banger soundtrack, and the actual game part is quite nice looking and reminiscent of the first generation of C&C, although I think the structure sprites constantly pulsating with VFX in idle is a little much.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
13 of 158 sampled reviews raised it
The Story is very C&C in terms of Story telling with a good Portion of Humour in it but always with there own twist,
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
11 of 158 sampled reviews raised it
Pixel graphics are easy to parse and look excellent with tons of little animations to give them character, accompanied by lots of spoken dialogue.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

Currently, the game features two campaigns with three different difficulty levels, which are genuinely fun.
