Overall: The Game is too simple, skirmish maps are far too small. This is a hard pass, there's better RTS games out there.
1. The game features 4 different races you can play as, playing as the nanites or Grey Goo, leaves much to be desired, the units themselves are simplistic, infantry, tanks, artillery, some flying units, really, there's a lot more to be had here, but the devs couldn't be bothered to add more.
2. the RTS elements are not fully developed, really in a match with the computer or even other players it comes down to who can better resource manage in a tiny multi-player map, and when I say tiny, it's super tiny, your enemy is sometimes literally right over that next hill, stupid. The size of the maps is limited to 4 players, yeah...4. 15 years ago or so when Supreme Commander Forged Alliance came out, I think their player count was up to 10 or 12, with massively huge maps, that would take an epic unit literally 10 minutes to walk to the other side of the map, my point is, there's no excuse for such small maps and only a max of 4 players.
3. Sound effects and music are a 5 out of 10, not terrible, not great, one of the races the Shroud, literally shriek in the most annoying way possible at you when you click on them, it's like stop making my ears bleed guys, oh let me turn down the sound...geeezzz...just a stupid design idea, it's like who play tested that and thought it was fine?
4. The epic units are completely idiotic, so the Grey Goo epic unit takes like maybe 20 minutes to make, after it's done, what is it? It's some mass with three arms waving about, ok, not so bad so far. After dumping a bunch of time into making the unit and having your blob sit on a resource node growing and being called an epic unit, you'd think, ok, this will go and crush my enemies and drive them before me, right? Yeah....no. The unit is a glorified artillery unit, that is completely unable to defend itself with a unit sitting right next to it shooting it, because apparently it's waving tendrils can't wave in front of it for half a freaking second and kill the unit sitting literally right next to it, making the epic unit nothing but target practice for the cheapest most inexpensive infantry unit in the game, seriously. Two infantry units approach it from two different directions, one get killed by the unit's main and only attack, the other makes it to standing right next to it and begins shooting it, with no support units whatsoever, the epic unit that took 20 minutes to make, dies. I know sounds stupid, but this pretty much sums up the entire game, yep, that right there.
5. Overall again, this game is a hard pass, I never played the campaign, because I didn't care to, the skirmish mode, multi-player mode, unit design, and sounds were so horrible, I didn't want to bother with another minute of the game, I mean seriously, is there going to be some ultra cool awesome story that impacts my life in some deep and meaningful way or is it going to be more half-hearted underdeveloped nonsense that plays on the grey goo scenario, you can think which I thought it was going to be.
