Shallow but fun. Not a 4x with the deep empire-building that implies. Probably the least ambitious strategy game I have ever seen in terms of mechanics. Focus on tactics, with strategy limited to deciding which direction to push, when to press the advantage and when to hold to avoid overextension.

However, pushing troops around and blasting the enemy is very fun and satisfying. A steal at the periodic sale price of fiveish dollars, but beware predatory DLC pricing.

My friend who I play This game with said if I post a review , and it gets 75 likes and 30 Awards that he will buy me a RTX 3060 and 1 Kilo of Lemon. So im just gonna leave this here. Help a brotha!
