story3 negative mentions
  • Charming indie RTS with a unique 1950s sci-fi comic-book aesthetic and strong personality.
  • Engaging gameplay blending nostalgia from classic RTS games with fresh mechanics and challenging difficulty levels.
  • Good performance on weaker PCs and platforms like the Steam Deck, with ongoing developer support and improvements.
  • Lacks polish in quality-of-life features such as unit pathing, UI scaling, camera rotation, and keybind configurations.
  • Limited music variety leading to repetitive soundtrack during extended play sessions.
  • Some players find the tutorial forceful and the HUD too large, impacting comfort and immersion.

  • story

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 28% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The game offers a unique 1950s sci-fi comic-book style with detailed lore uncommon for the genre, providing about five hours of story content. While the story is engaging and contributes to an enjoyable overall experience, some find it somewhat predictable and hope for more depth, especially regarding the enemies.

    • “The game definitely has a personality, inspired by the 1950's 'outer space' sci-fi movies, a strong comic-book aesthetic, and an attention to story and lore that's uncommon for this genre.”
    • “The arts and sounds are great; the gameplay and the story are fun.”
    • “But I think the story is a bit predictable.”
    • “I think with more in the story, as well as fleshing out a bit more of the enemies, this will be serviceable to enjoy every so often.”
    • “About 5ish hours or so of story content here so far.”

  • gameplay

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    43% positive mentions, 14% neutral mentions, 43% negative mentions

    The gameplay encourages exploration and replaying maps to unlock tech tree advancements, offering both challenging mechanics for hardcore RTS players and a welcoming experience for casual gamers on normal difficulty. While initially appearing simple or cheesy, the gameplay is actually quite demanding and engaging, complemented by enjoyable story, art, and sound.

    • “The gameplay progression depends on your exploration of the maps, motivating you to go back and replay the map for unlocking more of the tech tree.”
    • “You will have to micro, macro, and have mechanical skills to beat the hardest difficulties, which is what a lot of RTS players are looking for.”
    • “But if you're looking for just casual gameplay, playing on normal will make you feel welcome to the genre.”
    • “If the track was, for example, 8 minutes long, after 40 minutes of gameplay you'd have already heard it 5 times in a row.”
    • “The same music track won't change until some 5 hours of gameplay.”
    • “Gameplay looks cheesy at first glance but it is actually harder than it looks.”

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 17% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The game's music is praised for its unique 1920s sci-fi retro style and fits well with its personality, but many users criticize the lack of variety, noting the same track repeats for extended periods, leading some to mute the music entirely.

    • “This game oozes so much personality, I love the 1920s era sci-fi retro aesthetics and unique sci-fi soundtrack from the peak RTS era of the late 1990s to early 2000s.”
    • “And the soundtrack is great.”
    • “The biggest problem with the game is the music variety: for one campaign episode (one planet), there seems to be only one music track on repeat.”
    • “The same music track won't change until some 5 hours of gameplay.”
    • “I ended up muting the music, which is a pity.”

  • atmosphere

    The game’s graphics feature a distinctive 1950s outer space sci-fi and comic-book art style, blending nostalgic low-poly visuals reminiscent of 90s and early RTS games. This unique aesthetic adds personality and depth, despite the game being in very early access.

    • “The game definitely has a personality, inspired by 1950's 'outer space' sci-fi movies, a strong comic-book aesthetic, and an attention to story and lore that's uncommon for this genre.”
    • “Very early access, but I love the art style of the graphics. The low poly design gives it a 90s/StarCraft/Warcraft 3 custom map style to the characters.”

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users find the emotional experience hindered by technical issues like low resolution, intrusive HUD size, and lack of camera rotation, which collectively create discomfort and reduce immersion.

  • optimization

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game demonstrates solid optimization, running smoothly at a consistent 90 FPS on the Steam Deck, especially when using lossless scaling. Overall, performance is stable and fluid.

    • “I'm playing on Steam Deck, and the performance is impressive. Using Lossless Scaling makes it even smoother, but I'm consistently hitting 90 FPS, and it feels smooth as butter.”
