I have long anticipated the Stormgate Release, and after playing for a few hours I am quite happy with what is currently available, especially considering that this is going to be a Free to Play Game.

Units are very responsive and pathing is quite reasonable for the development stage.

Artwork for the game itself is in a reasonable state, with room for improvement by 1.0 release.

I quite like the stylised artwork, and gives it a modern feel, like Fortnite or LoL.

I think that the new unit variety is great, and the neutral camps are an interesting addition to the SC2 format.

The main point that needs to be resolved is cinematic models, not the actual gameplay models which are lower resolution, and FG have said that this will be addressed soon.

I would add one more point of easy improvement, turn on vSync by default to stop frame tearing upon first playing. I turned this on straight away and it looks much better.

The UX improvements to reduce the skill floor, especially building units and structures directly from anywhere on the map and automatically queuing them is a great feature and should help newer players macro more easily.

Overall, a strong release to Early Access, appreciate the willingness to develop inline with community feedback and let us try it out for free before it is fully polished.

If you like SC2, and have set yourself reasonable expectations for a smaller studio in early access, this game is a great continuation of the SC2 format, with some modern touches and an easier macro UX to grow to a broader RTS audience over time.
