I cannot recommend this game any longer.

Buyer beware, DO NOT trust the prior reviews made before August 2025, they reflect a game that no longer exist. The current game is not at all like what has existed prior, nor like what is shown in the video on steam. The games entire design ethos has radically shifted, from prior focus on large scale conflict, with maps that have multiple ways to complete them, up to you to decide how to deploy your forces.

After the latest update, that has all been changed. The games focus is now on small scale tactical engagements with you having at most 3-4 units. Said units are HEAVILY restricted by the developer, where before you could build your force how you liked, now you are only allowed what the developer felt would be the most "fun" for that map. Maps themselves have been gutted, where prior a map would have multiple avenues of completion, now the maps are effectively a funnel, there is only one way to progress, the developers way. They have reworked how Federation units work, making original units near worthless. The new units themselves, while powerful have problems with their range, one being primarily anti air, has less range than a squad of rifle troopers.

This all would not be an issue, if this came in the way of paid DLC or if the free content, was limited to specific added scenarios like the prior free content drops. But all this was implimented in the original campaign, completely changing it. They have retroactively, taken away content, from what I and others have originally paid for.

What has been the response from the criticism that the fanbase has put forth over these issues? Nothing. They do not even deign to reply to the fanbases concerns or issues. They simply continue to post about how "awesome" the new territory mode will be.

So if you are looking at this game and considering purchasing it based on prior reviews, youtube videos, or the screenshots/video on the storepage. Know that effectively, none of that content exist anymore.

I loved this game but now i cannot recommend.

After playing the 26/8/25 patch the game is now a mess they went back and changed a lot of things but it just messed up the story campaign for no reason.

The original campaign was better. The new campaign has removed freedom on how to handle missions and unit choice.

Fun' - Simple - Humoristic.

Watch Movie 1 before playing.

(Never watch the sequel.)

I love games that bring free major content to their updates..except when they make changes that made the map fun or the player made content fun. this last update has ruined that for me, the maps constantly freeze and crash my game.

I can stand the now exceptionally long loading times that have come with the update. I'd prefer it if they weren't like that but its not an end of the world problem.

Fort Maru mission however... it might not be the most recent update but one/a combination of them has ruined it. Between the Scorpions and the fact that nothing in your arsenal actually counters them (Rocket turrets that have at best the same range and oneshotted by it? I call BS) as well as the sheer number of enemies which is assume is because of the 'awesome' wavebreaker turrets that are at best middling anti-scorpion defence rather than wave clear (see the above, Scorpions kill everything...) This mission unfortunately was where it stops being fun and starts being sheer frustration...

The rolling bomb bugs kinda did it for me, trying to move everyone with this much clunk, not so fun.
Found myself having to redeploy constantly.
But overall a not so bad game with great setting and good voice acting.

Love the game, but when they send out a update and that update makes the game unplayable (just sits at the loading screen)... That should probably be addressed by someone...

I'm doing my part

COME ON YOU APES, YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER?!
