The gameplay is criticized for its heavy reliance on micro-management, which some players view as a defect rather than a feature. However, it offers a simple yet challenging experience, with engaging mechanics that revolve around balancing economy, defense, and military expansion, providing a rewarding sense of mastery.
- “The gameplay is genuinely super simple yet a bit hard to master. Balancing the economy for defensive buildings, knowing when to expand, and when to build your military army can be engaging and feels great when you master it.”
- “I hate micro-management and see it as a gameplay defect rather than a feature. This game is much heavier on micro than Dune 2 or Command & Conquer were.”
- “The gameplay feels overly complicated and not intuitive, making it hard to enjoy the experience.”
- “There are too many mechanics to keep track of, which detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.”
