Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The campaign was very good and I liked the way you are pitted against an unknown, superior force, with a limited number of units and resources.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is the germ of good ideas here; you can customize the loadouts of individual units upon construction, which is always neat, and the story is attempting to be that rarest of beasts, a character-driven RTS.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
50 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-The graphics are really good for how smooth it is, even the cutscenes are really good looking.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is nice, fast and vicious but for the most part difficult to coordinate.
