Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“cool concept, game works great but its very bare bones. campaign will arrive in 1-2 years so no need to rush. + runs great on linux + game art style looks and plays great - not much content - does not look crisp on a widescreen monitor …”
“A cool idea, nice graphics, a slightly different take on an RTS, which, by the way, mixes things up quite a bit compared to Warcraft III. In a good way. For example: Food here functions as a complementary resource from farms, not a unit…”
