Reviews

“This is probably the most beginner-friendly entry the genre has seen in the last decade, and it just works.”

“The ex-Westwood guys did an awesome job here! Clearly recommended for purchase.”

“For fans of old Command & Conquer, this should be high on your list. A great title for those looking to get into the RTS genre or return to the classic RTS formula.”
