What it's about: Un vrai RTS classique, augmenté par le build-crafting roguelite. Contrôle tes unités avec une précision façon bullet time. Déploie tes bases, lève tes armées. Un arsenal différent à chaque run. Forge des builds qui brisent le jeu. Ou le jeu te brise.

« Genuinely did not notice the game is still in early access »👍 anonymous review · 39 h played1« Epic sound! Huge fun that can go on endlessly. Lasers, cannons, armor, and techno music. I like it! »👍 anonymous review · 102 h played1« Actually fun RTS Rogulite, game is close to perfection, just a little polishing of the controls, hitboxes, and pathing, and of course more CONTENT, I'd be a happy guy »👍 anonymous review · 60 h played1« I pirated this game. After playing for two days nonstop, i said to myself. Damn this guy should get paid. »👍 anonymous review · 52 h played111« Really enjoyed every minute of this game. I'm a seasoned RTS player, been playing since the original red alert in the 90s, but this game captures that nice deckbuilding aspect to accompany the rts style. Well worth it. »👍 anonymous review · 154 h played1« Great game. I wish there were more like it. The blend of RTS, and Rogue Light Go perfectly together. »👍 anonymous review · 147 h played1
« Way way too micromangy for me. Every unit has a special ability it can use, including harvesters. I don't want to have to keep going back to my harvesters and telling them to use their harvest faster ability over and over. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played211« Don't nerf Castle, buff the unit, stupid »👎 anonymous review · 70 h played« The Fact that you cant issue an attack command on the mini map is reason enough for me to uninstall that is like RTS 101. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« Annoying bugs prevail, ruining the experience. Fix your bugs first and I will likely change my review. »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« Controls are clunky as ♥♥♥♥. Even starcraft 1 handled better. There is non stop micro stuttering that makes absolutely no sense with my rig, the amount of units on the field, or the graphics. Its just sloppy programming and poor practices. »👎 anonymous review · 0 h played« incredible experience! As a long time rts player it felt natural. I tend to shy away from any rogue components, but I remain impressed with the range and dynamism of the game. Polished and still fresh 300 hours in. »👍 anonymous review · 392 h played1
