The verdict
A deep, hardcore Cold War RTS with a huge unit roster and strong multiplayer, but weak AI, poor tutorials, a toxic small community and server problems. Skip it if you want casual or solo play.
Great for
Patient strategy fans who like combined-arms depth, deck building and multiplayer with friends
Main risk
Brutal learning curve with poor tutorials, cheating AI and a toxic, small multiplayer scene
What players love
