In-depth upgrade tree allows for varied army customization and gameplay depth.
Polished remaster with great visuals, including native 4K support for Pro users.

Gameplay can become repetitive, especially in the latter stages.
Dated checkpointing system and lack of auto-save can lead to frustrating replaying of stages.
Input lag and inadequate tutorial for new players detract from the overall experience.
