The story-driven campaign offers a strategic and enjoyable experience with a good balance of tactics and mission length, but is criticized for its short length (only 22 missions), lack of difficulty options, and simplistic AI that reduces challenge. While some players appreciate the gameplay and pacing, many feel the campaign is too easy and limited, hoping for additional missions or improved difficulty settings. Overall, the campaign serves well as an introductory mission set but may leave veterans wanting more depth and challenge.
- “It's a lot more strategic and the amount of options you have to accomplish the mission is astronomical.”
- “Great balance between tactics, fun and the right length of time per mission.”
- “The missions are just challenging enough to not be frustrating.”
- “I waited years for something, they charged full price for this ($6), yet there were only 22 campaign missions.”
- “Granted, there are new factions and some limited base building, but the campaign is much shorter, missions are pretty much the same, the AI is incredibly dim-witted, and, worst of all, no fog of war, taming whatever excitement the dumb AI could provide out of the game.”
- “As a consequence, the missions are way, way too easy and pose no challenge whatsoever.”

The gameplay offers a mix of new and classic mechanics, such as building and faction variety, which some find immersive and fun, while others find it tedious or sluggish. Issues include the removal of certain features like using engineers for stealing, occasional crashes, and lack of difficulty options or progress recovery. Overall, the gameplay is solid but could benefit from improvements to pacing and user options.
- “Same great gameplay as the previous war games, with new mechanics like power generators.”
- “I really like the building mechanic and the different factions was a great idea.”
- “I liked this game very much (5 stars), but would have appreciated if had an option to select difficulty level and game progress could be recovered regardless of re-installing the game. Apart from this, the gameplay features are phenomenal.”
- “A lot of game mechanics were changed and you can no longer use engineers to steal enemy buildings and rigs.”
- “Gameplay is overall tedious and contrived.”
- “The gameplay is sluggish and individual decisions don't feel important.”

The game's graphics are generally seen as advanced and visually engaging, contributing positively to the overall experience, especially for a turn-based strategy title. However, some users find the visuals overly busy or cluttered, making unit selection difficult, and others criticize the graphics as poor or uncomfortable to view. Overall, opinions on the graphics are mixed, with appreciation for creativity but concerns about clarity and aesthetics.
- “This game is a blast, one of the most graphically advanced turn-based strategy games on the market and it's great they made one with online multiplayer.”
- “I like the graphics and gaming style, kudos to the developer hoping for more updates in the future.”
- “With the quirky and silly humour, I expected more over the top aesthetics for some units.”
- “However, on playing the game I found the graphics too busy and the whole feel of the game seems to have taken a step back.”
- “Worst paid game you can get. It's slow, its graphics hurt. I don't usually complain about graphics, but they're bad. Not even worth it.”
- “Graphics too much, hard to see or pick units sometimes.”

Grinding in the game is widely regarded as tedious and overly time-consuming, often requiring lengthy in-game days per level that diminish enjoyment. The repetitive nature and crowded gameplay elements make progression feel more like a slog than fun, regardless of the platform used.
- “You can win, but it's usually a 30 (in-game) day slog that ends up being more tedious than it is fun.”
- “Unfortunately, I found this iteration to be extremely tedious, with every level taking 20 to 40 game days.”
- “The game is incredibly tedious and the playing field gets crowded to the point you can't tell what is what anymore.”

- “But with game graphics, funny jokes, and shooting... I'm there.”
- “Explosions and humor better than ever.”
