The graphics of the game are generally praised for their modern aesthetic and appealing art style, with some users highlighting the impressive design of units and explosions. However, criticisms arise regarding long loading times and a lack of polish in effects, UI, and map design, which detracts from the overall experience. While some players find the visuals to be a strong point, others feel that the game's design flaws overshadow the graphical quality.
“Just an awesome game made by one man. Amazing game! The graphics and gameplay are some of the best in RTS games ever!”
“The graphics look very good, but there is still a lot of work to do with the effects, UI, maps, and units.”
“Armor Clash 3 is a hidden gem for RTS fans. The visuals are excellent, from the unit and building designs to the explosion physics.”
“Graphics are fairly topnotch but has a disproportionately long loading time for simple, at best, map design (we are talking 3 minutes for a flat map and a handful of buildings on an SSD. Friggin' Forged Battalion has quicker load times and allows 8 player FFA with interesting map design).”
“The only thing this game has going for it is the art style.”
“It has modern graphics.”

The gameplay has been criticized for poor quality control, clunky mechanics, and a lack of content, making it feel bare-bones and not worth the full price. However, players familiar with RTS games like Command and Conquer can quickly grasp the core mechanics, which are enjoyable despite the game's shortcomings. There is potential for improvement, particularly in camera controls and unit variety, but currently, the experience is hindered by its limitations.
“Anyone who has played Command and Conquer or any similar RTS will pick up the mechanics of this quickly.”
“Awesome game, it's a little bare bones at the moment, but core gameplay is a lot of fun.”
“Not so much fun with broken mechanics but has potential.”
“The quality control is very poor and not worth anything but the steepest of discounts. I'm going to be very hard pressed to meet my hour of gameplay per hour spent.”
“The mechanics of moving the map are clunky with no keyboard support. The content is incredibly scarce, with challenges and units, and there is a total lack of multiplayer. The camera and unit variety would be simple fixes to improve the game quite a lot.”
“The quality control is very poor and not worth anything but the steepest of discounts. I'm going to be very hard pressed to meet my hour of gameplay per hour spent.”

The game's story aspect is minimal, with some users noting that a storyline may not be necessary. Players express a desire for more engaging content, such as additional maps, missions, and factions, as the current offerings are limited and lack depth. Overall, the narrative component is underdeveloped, leaving players wanting more.
“Currently, there are 3 distinct factions, and I hope for more content in the future, including more maps, missions, and even factions.”
“In hard difficulties, the game is good; it has about 10 maps (5 1v1, 5 2v2) and 4 missions called challenge mode.”
“Aside from maybe some kind of storyline (which probably isn't necessary), I was hoping to be able to do more in the game than just have more different kinds of units.”

“No tutorial, limited unit list... not even decent missions.”
“Currently, there are 3 distinct factions, but I hope for more content in the future, including more maps, missions, and even factions.”
