The demo for this was great fun. A few unique units, some interesting maps, silly tactics like spawning next to the enemy and killing it before it wakes up. An interesting challenge on higher difficulties while generally being a more relaxed/simple experience.

The campaign system in the early access release is pretty rough though. The lack of flexibility in the early game due to units being locked behind a tech system, seemingly rigid build orders to even survive the first couple of minutes, combined with a massive spike in difficulty on the hard difficulty (which imo is usually the "I've played something from this genre before" difficulty) really hampers the enjoyment of the game. Idk if the missions are random but basically I ended up with 1 mission vs an enemy that comically outranges both of the units and turrets I could build while doing insane aoe damage. Units that clear the enemy quickly died too fast and the tankier units couldn't clear the creep fast enough. After clearing the map then spending 30 minutes in a stalemate with the main and final building/turret/hub/spawner thing later I gave up.

The other mission that was available had an enemy that had slightly less range than my guys but just enough that either while pushing against it I would take chip damage or during a global event that lowers my range I would take damage. This would result in a cascading effect that would wipe the 16 to 18 units in my army and reset any progress I made towards the final enemy. This may have been manageable with better micro but I'm not sure, regardless the range difference felt so damn tight that I really can't tell. It's also a map where the creep grows in behind you as well and while that could probably be countered with some defenses built behind my main force, so maybe a skill issue, after banging my head against the previous mission I really didn't want to deal with being double teamed by them while pushing out of my base and just quit.

At the moment I'm sitting here thinking about whether I should return this game or sleep on it and try again tomorrow with the 30 or so minutes I have left. I'm also aware that it's in EA so maybe some of this will get retuned but yeah, I'll think about it. Really wishing steam had a neutral/maybe option instead of just yes or no because this is probably the most "maybe" game I've played.

令人惊讶的是，该游戏中不仅有不少创新，比如技能点的收集点亮，再比如防守和进攻结合巧妙，令激烈战争和悄然发展相得益彰，还有很多复古元素，比如建造基地很难不让你回忆起老朋友C&C，而单位模型也颇有一些横扫千军的身影，叠加在一起，就是本作的综合体验：稳健防守+反击扫图，希望开发组不断更新，继续提升可玩性。

Really enjoyable old school RTS. Turtling works well for most missions which is a bonus too! Would love the Devs to add veterancy ranks for units though please =)
Have played through the majority of the campaign on Normal difficulty, looking forward to ramping up the difficulty once i've maxed out the skill tree.
