Why players love itThings to know
67% of themes are praise8% are divided25% are complaints
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
58 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It is possible to enjoy it even without multiplayer, which not many RTS games can claim.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
56 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Its deep , the mechanics are fleshed out and it adds some new layers of complexity to the game but does not stray very far from what wargame built.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You dont need to be particularly good to enjoy this as there are difficulty settings for everyone, and the seeming complexity is actually a good thing as it offers up incredible choice and variation in unit design depending on your playstyle and objectives.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Once you do get the hang of things, the game is a load of fun - both in solo and multiplayer (co-op vs AI especially).
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game’s real-time tactical combat demands careful positioning, timing, and combined arms coordination, rewarding those who can adapt quickly to fluid battlefield situations.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The deck customization is good ( albeit not as good as Wargame: Red Dragon), the graphics hold up great even in 2025, and there's a small but dedicated multiplayer community.
