This game was a lot of fun! Had not really played a RTS game in years (mostly RPG / turn based strategy / Building type of guy) but after having seen a couple of Lets Plays of this one definitely wanted to give it a shot.

This one is very reminiscent of the old Commandos games i enjoyed a lot back in the day.
I really like the Wild West setting too + various other settings like New Orleans / Swamps etc.
All the maps have been beautifully created with a very cool style.
I enjoyed the story and characters a lot too. Made you care that much more about the missions.

Now the game is by now means perfect obviously... the main flaw for me? Its too darn short.
I played on the easy mode (hard enough for me at least for a first playthrough) and i managed to get through all 16 missions in 28 hours. That is rather quick for a 50 euro game to be honest...

Luckily the game does offer plenty of replay value. I dont think i am the type of guy to do a mission 10 times or more but i ll definitely try em all once or twice more.
The game has a 'badges' system (which are revealed after first playthrough) with unique challenges like 'dont kill anyone' 'dont wear a disguise' 'dont use this character's skills etc.' you can aim for in future playthroughs.
Also a lot of the later missions have two paths you can take towards your goal which by itself gives one a reason to try the mission again.
All in all i d have loved to see a lot more missions but i have no idea how hard it is to churn these out. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more future missions though!
The developers also seem to have added Baron Challenges. I THINK they ll keep adding new ones? They take place on existing maps and offer you more challenges to keep playing the game.

All in all a very enjoyable game with fun characters and challenges but a bit short.

I have no idea how crazy / impossible it is but a custom map / scenario creator mode for players would be an amazing addition i think!
