Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Gameplay is really what matters, but some effort beyond the text briefing in the windows for each mission would've been nice.

With casual gameplay, cute visuals and funny references.

Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
As a veteran RTS player, I was actually shocked at the level of difficulty between the beginner mode and the medium mode, and even doing co-op with a friend who had little experience I found the odds on some maps were stacked impressively against you.
32 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The new and shiny voice acting makes the game better overall.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
For anyone familiar with the Command and Conquer Franchises' original installments, then they should feel right at home with 8-Bit Armies - after all, some of those same developers worked on this game and the interface is nearly identical.
