Huge improvements from the first.
Dodge mechanic, wasd movement and controller support are great.

The game has alot of potential. I originally thought this was a race style game with orks and shooting, but instead its a multi game mode (kinda. ones a kill the enemies, damage the enemy cart while protecting yours from THE BOMB. The other is a king of the hill death race) experience.

I dislike 4 things at current, 3 experience wise and the fourthbecause im Australian, and every game studio ignores us for Chinese servers
1) the game uses a 3rd party account, not associated with the devs or publisher, and their website is slow as hell and just *feels* as if its a malware system
2) the game is in beta, and has a battle pass requiring microtransactions to activate
3) the maximum party size is 4, the lobby size of a game is 10v10. so why can i not invite my 5 or 6 friends to get in game? Que sniping is a huge challenge, and the game will put your 4m party against each other to balance teams, so having a 8m party shouldnt be an issue
4) as mentioned, Im Australian, and we dont have servers (its beta, fair enough. but i doubt this will change) the lag means i have to lead shots like im using projectiles while everyone else has hitscan weapons.

Theres a good mix of vehicles, gadgets(unique to each vehicle) and roles for tanks, dps and support

At this time i doubt i will play more unless
1) OCE/AUS Servers
2) Party size limits increased, or custom/private lobbys are introduced so my mates and i can thump each other

6/10 with promise

This game is your standard EDF experience, kill a swarm of enemies, big explosions etc.

The issue with this game though is the use of Epic game online services, which INSTALLS SPYWARE onto your system. If you do want to play this game, you either need to disable your antivirus to allow that to install each time you want to play, or create an exception allowing spyware perminately on your system.

Epic was also not mentioned prior to release, and only mentioned and updated on the storepage once the community had purchased and attempted to play

TLDR: Its fun, but Epic spyware is required

I love this game. I think its one of the best games developed in the last 10 years.

There has been some controversy. but Ah and the community have handled it well

Some of the hardest working devs. They have created many gems with their own engine. X-Morph series is a phenomenal Tower defence mixed with twin stick shooting. All their games have fantastic graphics, smooth gameplay and allow for some seriously destructive moments

This game is factorio-lite with a twist, Instead of needing trains or conveyors your base will auto supply what is needed, its transfered to the building.
You can focus on building, reinforcing, researching and exploring instead of base management.
Some of the late game tech is absolutely amazing and brings in beautiful destruction

The devs are doing everything they can to incentivise the player base to spend money to progress. Constant changes have been implemented over the years that reduce the payout for every action you take.

The devs themselves have stated getting from an early game vehicle to a late game vehicle should take time, and should be rewarding. They have also constantly nerfed XP gains to make the "grind" harder and longer, While pushing premium vehicles out at various tiers that can be purchased for real money, Skipping the grind and "rewarding process"

This game while stressful at times, has great mechanics and modelling. But with each patch the devs release, Pain and suffering comes to the community, and are punished for playing the game, Either as a Free 2 Play, Or a Pay 2 Play user.

Edit: There have been some minor improvements _Free repairs in game (not perfect) reserach will give perfect repairs, and free fire extinguishers (research gives more uses)

Slight increase in income and xp. But more work is required

Edit v2: This game at top tier is Russian dominated, it is a Russian company making a game solely to bump up the myth of Russian vehicle dominance, While most other nations get stomped on. Gajin does not release statistics for win/loss kill/death rates for vehicles or nations. Community notes show russia having a ~70% win rate.
It just not worth playing any tanks or aircraft you are interested in, as the russian counterparts at that tier will just overpower you

Edit the third. Any attempt at balancing non russian vehicles by the community is a struggle and usually shot down but a moderator TrickZZter. However any "balancing" for russian vehicles is green lit without question by the same moderator.

At time of this edit, a new T90M MBT for russia is being introduced, it is demonstrated to be near unkillable on the dev server.
The new M1A2 SEPV2 Abrams, it will die in one shot, doesn't have the correct ammo, and is a copy/paste of the 4 other Abrams in game, except with less engine power thanks to the not modelled armour. (Again dev server, possible to change, doubt any balancing will come of this)

TLDR: Games not worth it, Company favours their own nation IRL and will power creep that nation while fighting the community for other nation buffs/balance.
Forum posts with evidence gets ignored because it would reduce the russian (72%) win rate and increase the US (42%) win rate

The teamwork from randoms is some of the best I've seen. The 3 classes grow into their unique roles with play, and the bugs are a serious threat for a lone trooper.
The 2 modes currently in game, provide a decent level of gameplay, which ramps up with the difficulty (normal is a challenge without coms and teamwork)

Edit: Update 0.30 adds modifiers, balancing and new manned turrets.
These are all amazing, the HMGs are devastating, but require a helping hand to keep it from breaking under its own stopping power.
Bastion SAW changes allow it to carry huge amounts of ammo, fitting for a LMG.
Community feedback and suggestions have been taken to provide clear understanding of mechanics and balancing.

so far i have spent almost 1/4 of the 2 hours refund policy timer attempting to get my controller to work.
For a port this should be the one thing that works flawlessly.
I imagine this game could be quite interesting. But given i have been looking at the main menu screen and the loading screen for a solid chunk of time.....its not a good game
Upon getting the game to work, its actually pretty good
