v good. not just 8 bit armies in space. enough tweaks and switchups with the armies template to make it stand out against it. v similar games obviously but not repetitive. Worth while playing both, if you like these types of games. Maybe a little more technical approach needed to it, slightly more complex finding a balance with your army for lack of a better word. Armies i slightly enjoyed more but invaders is still a cracking good game. The super weapons are class, nothing like 8 bit armies. All 8/9 bit games play better on pc than console.

I got nothing to say except that my 8-bit guns go pew pew
