This would have been amazing game. 10 years ago.

Loading cut scene to loading cut scene is not just going to, ahem, cut it in nowadays standards. I understand that you cannot have everything in same one big blob but game does AWFUL job of masking this. If you e.g. would stay in first person (like Elite Dangerous does it!) when landing/jumping to an another location it would have been 200% more immersive. But no, of course not.

It is not an awful game, it is just not worth full price in current year. I'll most likely grab this from sale and request refund for now.

I would really, really, want to like this game. But it is grindy. Grindy on a completely new level.

And when you realize you are only playing to grind better tanks/equipment/etc. instead of having already fun playing, you will understand that game is not fun. There is only grind to "next level" and the false hope that game will be fun then. But it will not be. It never gets fun.

Please make the game fun. Hint: It was fun in beta stage when tank re-spawns were unlimited per match.

Paper marines the game. You are supposed to control squad of elite of the elite Space Marines. Game fails miserably to deliver that feeling.

Even basic Space Marines are supposed to be demigods with miraculous physique. Part of that is wound regeneration. Yet your elite Space Marines need months of "wound healing" after just hearing sound of standard autogun. Ridiculous.

Perhaps next time you developers will have courage to do something else than copy XCOM.

No fov slider, seriously?

Workaround isn't even to modify some .conf file, no that would be too easy. You will need to modify executable binary and after that, you cannot play multiplayer due to cheat detection. Just plain unacceptable that such basic setting is missing.

First impression from game is that you play as a king or some sort of kingdom ruler but no. You will actually play as charity worker who moves from place A to place B to get money and donate money. That is, there is nothing else to the game.

Game does not give you any info at all. Basic info such as how many archers, soldiers, peasants, etc. you have is missing. How are you supposed to know what unit types you need without this info? Partly due to this, It is also very easy to get soft locked as cannot even re-distribute roles. Why? What kind lousy king I am? And when you kingdom gets larger, you cannot send archers sitting in the middle towards edges of map to be useful.

Recruitment is also mindbogglingly dumb. To get new peasants, you need to visit some camps but they will disappear if you expand towards them. So, you can end up in situation where you should expand but you cannot, because if you do, you lose your peasant pool. Like, what?

It is frustrating as game is close being quite good. But without some quality of life improvements, I cannot recommend this.

From a excellent main game this expansion was such a let down.

Perhaps I am doing something terribly wrong but towards the end balance starts to feel weird: Enemies one shot your full geared team even through cover and smoke. Shields feel sometimes plain unfair to deal with. I never ever had such problems with main game. Fights felt tough but never unfair.

"Non-lethal" mechanic feels forced and not fun at all. Basically you have spend whole game collecting and improving your weapons and now game tells you cannot use them because of reasons(tm)? Who thought this would be a good idea?

If you ever want to stab yourself with a fork to eye socket, just play this game instead. It is much more painful. There is no any fun to be had, only pain and suffering. In the end there is nothing to be gained. You only wonder why ever did you spend so much time with this.

Every mission you have to play perfectly to win. There are no room for any mistakes, you just cannot recover. Take a heed from my lost hours, do not waste yours.

Base of the game is solid. Yet, I feel like, resource balancing needs some work. I am currently "stuck" because I just cannot find more tech blocks to develop my ship further (or I am just doing something terribly wrong). Anyway, recommended.

The best city builder game around.
