  • The game offers a nostalgic RTS experience reminiscent of Command & Conquer, with a variety of game modes including a campaign, skirmish, tower defense, and survival.
  • Despite being an early access title developed by a solo developer, the game is regularly updated and shows promise with smooth gameplay and engaging mechanics.
  • The graphics and weapon effects are impressive, and the AI provides a challenging experience that encourages strategic gameplay rather than just overwhelming the enemy with numbers.
  • The game suffers from numerous bugs and janky mechanics, such as units getting stuck on terrain and issues with UI responsiveness, which can hinder the overall experience.
  • Some core functionalities, like building queueing and customizable camera controls, are missing or poorly implemented, which can frustrate players accustomed to more polished RTS titles.
  • The balance of gameplay can feel off, with issues like rapid resource depletion and units dying too quickly, leading to a less satisfying combat experience.
  • story
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is supported by a well-designed 20-mission campaign featuring three factions, with varied mission structures that keep gameplay engaging. While some players enjoyed the campaign and additional game modes like skirmish and tower defense, there were complaints about certain missions lacking activity and the absence of mission briefings and post-mission stats. Overall, the storywriting is considered an improvement over previous titles, with potential for future updates and expansions.

    • “The campaign missions are well designed and fun for the most part, and I had some fun trying out skirmish and other game modes you have available.”
    • “It has a 20 mission campaign, 3 factions, skirmish, a tower defense mode, and a survival mode.”
    • “During the horde and tower defense missions, I had nothing spawn and just waited out the timer.”
    • “A mission briefing and post-mission stats screen would be nice.”
    • “Has better story writing than Veilguard, and it's an RTS made by one person.”

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is generally enjoyable and offers a nostalgic experience for RTS fans, featuring smooth mechanics and a well-paced progression system. However, it suffers from various bugs that can hinder the experience, and some players express disappointment with the controls, particularly when compared to classic titles like Command & Conquer. Despite these issues, the game shows promise with its blend of old and new elements.

    • “There is definitely a lot of influence from CNC Generals, but there are plenty of new mechanics as well.”
    • “The gameplay overall is pretty smooth, and building/tech progress is quickly paced, so you don't feel like you're slogging through it, but also not so fast that early game units are redundant.”
    • “I would recommend it for RTS fans looking for a bit of a throwback experience with modern graphics and more polished mechanics and unit abilities.”
    • “A really fun game for only $20, but there's a host of bugs throughout hindering gameplay.”
    • “I missed the controls and gameplay feel of CnC, specifically KW and RA3. The controls and gameplay are something I take special importance to, especially as a PvP player. Hence, I was astoundingly disappointed by the controls and feel of Tempest Rising, a recent 'CnC-like' that felt more like a bad plagiarism attempt than true passion.”
    • “It is very early access, so there are some pretty nasty bugs that will affect your gameplay, but surprisingly enough, not in the performance or stability department.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is in early access and has notable bugs that impact gameplay, but performance and stability are generally solid. However, players have reported significant lag during intense moments, particularly when many units are firing simultaneously, indicating a need for better performance optimization options, such as adjustable particle effects density.

    • “It is very early access, so there are some pretty nasty bugs that will affect your gameplay, but surprisingly enough not in the performance or stability department.”
    • “Performance optimization is needed, or at least let us lower the particle effects density, because the game really lags when many units fire simultaneously.”
    • “Performance optimization is needed, or at least let us lower the particle effects density, because the game really lags when many units fire simultaneously.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are highly praised for their quality, featuring impressive environmental effects and smooth gameplay. Players appreciate the blend of nostalgic RTS elements with modern visual enhancements and refined mechanics.

    • “Great graphics, great environmental effects, and smooth gameplay.”
    • “I would recommend it for RTS fans looking for a bit of a throwback experience with modern graphics and more polished mechanics and unit abilities.”
  • music
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music and voice lines in the game are considered adequate but lack variety, suggesting that improvements could enhance the overall experience.

    • “Voice lines and music are passable, but could use some more variance.”
