  • humor
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is widely praised for being clever, quirky, and often hilarious, especially in its campaign and character design, blending well with the RTS mechanics. While some find it hilarious throughout, a few users mention the comedy can feel juvenile or wear thin after extended play. Overall, the humor adds a unique and entertaining twist that enhances the game's charm and replayability.

    • “The campaign is hilarious, the skirmish mode is really fun, and the characters are ridiculous (in a good way).”
    • “Pretty good mix of RTS and tower defense with lots of humor.”
    • “Funny and a unique spin on the RTS genre.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is a hilariously crazy and satirical campaign focused on humorous world domination rather than serious or life-changing themes. Some players preferred skirmish mode, but the quirky and absurd storyline, such as invading France over a haggis factory dispute, adds a fun and lighthearted touch to the game.

    • “Story: hilarious campaign.”
    • “Storyline: hilariously crazy (first mission is to invade France because they refuse to build a haggis factory by the Eiffel Tower).”
    • “So, get yourself well prepared for venturing forth into this satirical story of world domination.”
    • “The storyline is hilariously crazy, with the first mission being to invade France because they refuse to build a haggis factory by the Eiffel Tower.”
    • “It is not a serious 'change your life' kind of story.”
    • “I played the skirmish mode more than the story.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay combines classic and smooth point-and-click RTS mechanics with a humorous tone, featuring diverse units that enhance strategic depth. However, some design elements, such as zoom control, reflect developer inexperience and could be more intuitive for better game flow. Overall, the core mechanics are enjoyable but have room for refinement.

    • “The game's idea is fun and the game mechanics are not completely bad, but you can see the inexperience in the development. For example, the management of the zoom on the playing field should be easier and faster to allow for better control over the game action.”
    • “Gameplay features classic and smooth point & click RTS mechanics packed with comedy.”
    • “The game's idea is fun and the game mechanics are not completely bad but you see the inexperience in the development, for example in the management of the zoom in the playing field: it should be easier and faster to allow for better control over the game action.”
    • “While the logic of this is crazy, it is a much better game mechanic and means you have more Scotsmen available for deploying on the battlefield (and you will need them).”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
