Don't buy this game! The game contains alot of bugs and the developers are very greedy, it is not worth the 25 bucks, EVEN if it is on sale, because you'll save a lot of your time, not playing this game. I have a fairly decend PC, but this game is very unoptimized. You wanna hear something? Instead of finishing this game, the developers published an expantion pack for 15 bucks. I mean, what the hell? Your game isn't finished, has bugs, the gameplay gets stale really fast and now you want to lock new features behind a pay wall? Yeah, a real time and money waste!

It is a must have

It is a very nostalgic game and if you are in for the nostalgia, then this game might be interesting for you, so was it for me.
But I just can't overlook its problem in the modern age.

[Edit: They fixed the FPS limit. The game is caped at 60FPS now]

Another complaint I would have with the game is, that it is very unbalanced in my opinion when it comes to attacking (or I am bad in attacking, but ask the general player base, not me). Comparing this game to ClashOfClans for example, there are just no real good or usefull troops to use when attacking. It takes SO long for a Unit to destroy a building (especially resource buildings) that by the time your units destroy one the time has almost run out or a turret (defensive building) will have killed almost all your troops so you don't even have the amount of troops to destroy the rest of the buildings.
You might argue that you should just upgrade the troops, but even if you do, the upgrades on troops are so minuscule, that by the time your troops are good (damage and health wise) they are either very expensive
(
Example:
-Marine from LVL 6 to 7:
Cost: 400 -> 2200
)
or that by the time you can use that troop, your Starbase is on a higher level i.e. your opponents have stronger turrets, thus negating the upgrates. In ClashOfClans the scaling of the upgrades scales better with the power and cost of the unit. This game favors defensive gameplay so much, I don't even think it is economicaly viable to even attack.

This game might have pioneered the System with having colonies, but the game has been design with SUCH a LONG UPGRADING TIME - it puts ClashOfClans to shame! After getting 3 colonies the waiting time to even do anything on one, skyrockets when you upgrade buildings past the mid tier levels!
"
Oh boi! I sure LOVE to wait 4days and 12 hours to upgrade my compact houses to level 10! And what is that? My colonies only have 1 worker? Well I sure can't wait 3 years (I know I am exaggerating) to upgrade the next one!
"
I understand if you make a game that is free grindy, to entice players to use ingame premium currencies, but this just is TOO MUCH!


The changes that I would like to see, is the game to:
- have a balance update on either the units or the buildings!
- I don't have a sollution to how to lessen the waiting time of upgrades to buildings, but make something - It really kills the drive of playing the game, when you have to wait 5 days for a building to finish just for the cycle to repeat


Overall I DO NOT THING THE GAME IS BAD! It has a place in my heart for EVER!
But I just cannot play this game as it was and is now! Sometimes things should just stay memory, but this game really is an exception when it comes to the style of town building games and I want it to succeed in popularity as it did back then, but I don't see it happening if the game stays as it was.

Really big THANKS to the people making this game possible to play again in 2023! You guys really brought childhood back, now please make it last!
