Reviews
- The game features a unique blend of RTS and Battle Royale mechanics, offering strategic gameplay that is easy to learn but challenging to master.
- Matches are quick and engaging, making it suitable for short gaming sessions, especially in multiplayer with friends.
- The developers show dedication to improving the game, and there is potential for future updates and features.
- The game has been abandoned by the developers, resulting in a lack of updates and a dwindling player base, making multiplayer virtually non-existent.
- Graphical quality is subpar, with low-polygon assets that do not meet modern gaming standards, detracting from the overall experience.
- There is no single-player campaign or substantial content, limiting replayability and leaving players with only AI opponents to face.

The gameplay combines strategic base-building and army mobilization reminiscent of Risk, enhanced by a unique battle royale twist where the environment decays over time, adding urgency to player decisions. While it is accessible for newcomers, mastering its mechanics can be challenging, with interesting cooldown systems and engaging core mechanics that keep players invested. Overall, the blend of RTS elements and innovative gameplay features creates a compelling experience.
“Through these tactics of base-building and conquering mechanics, this title flourishes.”
“+ very unique and strategic gameplay that's really easy to get into but can be hard to master.”
“Core mechanics are really interesting and pleasant.”
“The gameplay feels a tad bit like Risk, but with some city-building and a battle royale-like twist, in which its grids will decay over time (different tiles will have different rates of decay) and collapse into the sea regardless of whatever is on them, be it a bunch of troops or a city.”
“I just love how much 'Risk' vibes I'm getting from Waves of Atlantide, and yet, the gameplay is definitely not 100% Risk.”
“Gameplay - as is customary with the stated templates, players erect and mobilize armies toward enemy encampments with the goal of being the determinable victor, all without succumbing to a collapsing continent.”

The graphics in this early access title are generally considered underwhelming, particularly the cityscapes, which do not match the quality of the vibrant forests and sparkling seas. While there is room for improvement, some aspects have received moderate praise, suggesting that the game still offers value for its price.
“There is nothing terribly impressive in terms of aesthetics with this title; however, there are concepts that elicit moderate praise.”
“The graphics for cities just pale in comparison to the lush forests and sparkly seas.”
“The game can still be improved graphically.”
“The game needs some graphic improvement, but it's worth the money.”

Reviewers criticize the game's story for lacking depth and richness, attributing this to a reliance on player-versus-player (PvP) elements instead of investing in single-player content, such as level design and narrative. The introductory story and tutorial are seen as insufficient, leaving players wanting more engaging storytelling and character development.
“Within my 40-minute let's play video, I've gone through the story intro and the tutorial, lost a match, and won a match :)”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks a coherent flow, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“Character development is shallow, and I found it difficult to care about their fates.”
“The plot twists are predictable, leaving little room for surprise or excitement.”
