The verdict
A deep, good-looking Cold War tactical RTS with huge unit variety and strong modding. Skip it if you dislike steep learning curves, pricey DLC, AI-generated assets, artillery balance or server disconnects.
Great for
Cold War fans who like deck-building tactical RTS, solo vs AI or co-op with friends
Main risk
Steep learning curve, then DLC prices, AI-generated assets, balance and disconnects sour it
