The gameplay is generally praised for its smoothness and solid mechanics, particularly in multiplayer modes, making it engaging and enjoyable for players who appreciate real-time strategy games. However, some users noted a lack of depth in skirmish mode and the absence of a campaign, which could limit the experience for certain players.

I haven't felt this good playing an RTS in a long time; I'll give this game 8.5/10 and I highly recommend it for C&C Generals fans who enjoy chaotic and dynamic gameplay.”
- “As I said, it is not a bad game; it has decent enough graphics and gameplay, it just didn't click for me in skirmish mode and there is no campaign.”
- “Also, the lack of power plant mechanics means that someone could just turtle up, and the only way through would be to punch a hole in it.”
- “Most games at 60+ don't respond or fix their broken gameplay for months or ever.”
