The game's graphics feature a charming cartoon aesthetic with notable attention to detail, though some elements may feel dated. While the visuals reflect the era of its release, they contribute to a fun and engaging experience that doesn't take itself too seriously, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the gameplay.
“The game offers some nice graphics and a beautiful aesthetic which is pleasant all the same and has some amazing attention to detail even though it is a little rough around the edges.”
“I like the aesthetic design, and the way that the characters are portrayed, since it stimulates an archetypical expectation while also reinforcing the fact that it is a video game where you're meant to have fun, meaning that it doesn't take itself too seriously.”
“Really fun, build your empire, cartoon graphics, great mob story, no-nonsense, easy to learn and enjoy playing.”
“Sandbox-like gameplay, old school graphics.”
“You just have to keep in mind that the graphics represent when the game came out (dated), but it's still a fun go-to.”

The game's story is praised for being engaging and enjoyable, particularly within its mob-themed narrative, making it a fun experience for players. However, some users note a lack of replayability after completing the missions, as there is little left to explore beyond higher difficulty levels. Overall, while the storyline is a highlight, it may not sustain long-term interest once the main content is finished.
“This is a fun and challenging RTS game with a great storyline.”
“Really fun, build your empire, cartoon graphics, great mob story, no-nonsense, easy to learn and enjoy playing.”
“What it is kind of lacking is replayability; after completing all the missions and having 'won' in freeplay mode, there isn't really anymore to explore, except for completing the game on the hardest difficulty, which I'm not the type of person that cares about.”

“I can't thumbs up it for players today because it's a very outdated game with mechanics that don't make any sense.”
“Sandbox-like gameplay, old school graphics.”
“This game has something that modern games seem to lack, and it isn't just the nostalgia speaking when I manage to pull 12 hours of gameplay out of the game.”

The game suffers from significant stability issues, particularly with glitches in the first level that prevent progression to the second level. Users express a strong desire for a remaster to address these bugs, as the current state is deemed unplayable.
“The first level glitches and you are unable to continue to the second level.”
“Hope this gets remastered to run smoothly without glitches and bugs in Windows 10, else it's 'curtains' time!”

The game has limited replayability, primarily offering the option to complete missions on higher difficulties after finishing the main content. Given its low price point of $6, players generally do not expect extensive replay value compared to more expensive titles.
“What it is kind of lacking is replayability. After completing all the missions and having 'won' in freeplay mode, there isn't really anymore to explore, except for completing the game on the hardest difficulty, which I'm not the type of person that cares about.”
“For a $6 game, I wouldn't expect any replayability either, and for $6 I don't expect the replayability to be there, like I would with a $200 title, e.g. Europa Universalis IV with DLCs.”
