“When it worked it was some of the best RTS I have ever played, but the crash, ohhh the crash. Reducing all your play time to nothing the game would crash at the end of a level. too bad the game has been abandonned by the dev. Avoid.”
“Bought this years ago. Finally trying to play it. The Software is trash and doesn't work. Game freezes constantly, like it is processing. Terrible. Also uninstalled and reinstalled via steam. Don't waste your money. Broken software.”
