The verdict
A cinematic, unique RTS/FPS hybrid that shines with friends, but pathfinding, AI, performance and a tiny player base keep it rough. Skip it if you want a polished RTS or solo depth.
Great for
Sci-fi fans who want to play with friends, one commanding and others fighting as soldiers, and can tolerate rough edges
Main risk
Broken pathfinding, weak AI and poor performance, plus an empty multiplayer scene, make it feel unfinished
