(micro-review)

Genre: RTS;

Release date: 10-Nov-2016 ;

Overview:     

Massive-scale warfare in an epic RTS
from the makers of Sins of a Solar Empire

Choose your side amidst the rising tensions between the Post-Human Coalition and the AI beings, the Substrate. Conquer new and exciting worlds, build unique and diverse armies, and engage in epic battles against up to a dozen other players on huge maps.

Features:     

Engage in Massive Sized Games

Huge maps can house over a dozen players at once and is perfect for a ‘comp stomp’ or a chaotic free-for-all.

Manage your Armies Globally

The global view feature lets you use the mouse wheel to zoom out and exercise greater control over your armies. Easily see the entire battlefield and control large groups of units effectively.

Battle Across Unique Worlds

Wage war across landscapes of massive crystal formations or storm your enemy’s base across spans of volcanic pits and burning terrain.

Choose your Gameplay Dynamics

Plenty of map options allow for variety and challenge in both single and multiplayer games!

Expand your Strategy with Advanced Units

Add to the gameplay dynamic with unique units for both the PHC and the Substrate! Battle your enemies with heavily armored units, powerful aircraft, helpful support bots, and more.

Bolster your Defenses

Surprise your enemies with unexpected orbital attacks to slow their armies and halt their progress or protect your Nexus by upgrading your defensive structures.

   This is a pretty basic game that comes with little to no innovation in terms of RTS elements. The two factions are very similar, and a big part of the game play is capturing “resource nods”. I like that the game is not as micro intensive as other RTSs, but this comes at the price; units have no special abilities that you need to micro manage. You can have lots and lots of units at the same time and the aspect of the game is pretty nice looking. I’m quite bad at RTSs but to me the AI seemed OK.

 Rating: If a human and a protoss had a baby...


 Recommendation: Decent RTS, worth a shot if you like the genre.
