This game ticks all of my boxes. Strategy. Defense. Towers. Choke points. Not to long, but not to short. Good Co-Op. Good stuff. Campaign is a bit lackluster but still good

the same as the others, this game doesn't deserve the hate its getting, I usually prefer campaign type games, but this game struggles, don't get me wrong, its still fun, but survival is where this game comes into its own. people moan, you cant save your game blah blah blah, they will never know the feeling of completing a hard difficulty on survival and punching the air, it may take you 10 times on easy, but you will get there, keep trying. I love they are billions and tried to find a game like it, this is the only game that starches the itch, I did put it off for ages, but believe me its a great game if you love a big challenge and are prepared for the work it takes to be brave and win. I remember the level on they are billons thinking I had done enough to defend against anything and then some massive blade wielding zombies came from each corner and decimated me, 4 hours gone/wasted etc. oh no, I learned and came back stronger to win if you're tough buy this game, if you have blue hair and think the world is against you, probably not the right game for you, only the strongest survive

Another counter review to the negative reviews of late. To me, the game, aside from 1 hero feeling extreelyt lacking, feels pretty much finished! the cmapigns nothing special but similar games have the same problem, horde based campaigns are just difficult to make comelling. The factions feel reasonably distinct, multiplayer is extremely enjoyable and one of the few horde based games that actually have it. IF you enjoy They are billions or Diplomacy is not an option this is definately a candidate for you to spend some time with, ignore the negaive reviews and give it a go yourself.

This is a good game that had the potential to be a great game. Everything this game offers is great, with one single flaw that repeats in nearly every aspect of it: it needs more. More factions to choose from, greater differences between factions, more units to make, more buildings to construct, more map variety to enjoy, more enemy diversity to keep the combat engaging, more technologies to expand gameplay. But like I said, what is there is great. Its just a shame that there is not more of it. The base-building, economy, and fortifications are really spot-on. The graphics and animations are really nice. The grand spectacle of the massive battles is impressive. The biggest flaws of the game is the complete lack of basic quality of life features; the biggest one is that there being no way to center your camera on a selected unit that is not already part of a designated hotkey group. This forces you to scour the map trying to find it, which is hard because the mini-map does not highlight the selected unit in any way to differentiate it from the rest of your units and buildings. These are basic features that RTS games have had since BEFRE the year 2000. I find the fact that these features are not in this game to be crazy, and continually frustrating while playing. The second worst part of this game is the complete lack of map variety. Every map is a randomized version of the same map. There is no significant deviation on a macro scale. Sure, the differently shaped or sized forests, or the nearest open clearing, or the number of narrow chokes around your stating location, and more, can drastically impact your starting few minutes; but the map as a whole is the same overall blueprint. It gets boring fast. The third biggest flaw, in my opinion, is the lack of diversity you, as a player, get to choose from. There are only three factions to choose from, and they are not very different from each other. The downright anemic selection of military units you can build is embarrassing. Weak melee unit, strong melee unit. Weak ranged unit, strong ranged unit. One ranged siege weapon only, unless you play the one faction that gets a second option. Now that is a lot of complaining, but I want reiterate: what is here is really good. It just lacks MORE. I recommend this game if you like what you see and understand that there is probably not much in the way of replay-ability. This is a good game that had the potential to be phenomenal.

IN GOOD FAITH: I recommend this game. There ARE bugs in the game, but 9 times out of 10 you can fix it by just close out and restart. I have SO many hours in this game without issues and I rarely have bugs that break my game. 220 hours and i plan to keep going. YES THE DEVELOPERS DID ABANDON THIS GAME, but for what they have made, this is a rough gem. This game could EASILY be one of the next BIG game titles for the RTS genre. The review bombing is just to help bring the devs back. PROS: Good gameplay loop, Strategic building is key, resource management feels great, upgrades are worth investing into, difficulty scaling is great, genuinely addicting to the point where people want more updates! CONS: Certain heroes are better than others BY ALOT, there is a LOT of other units or possibly another FACTION that the campaign introduced that the survival mode did not incorporate (such as hornets, enforcers, etc), difficulty scaling feels like they spam certain enemy units at you (if you know, you know), feels like they pulled the plug alittle too quickly and what I mean by that is little to no variation between factions. HERE IS WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE, thank you for reading this far. Add in a new faction, The Alderin Empire. EASY ideas too, I mean, enforcers, hornets, the pikemen, The BIG TOWER that Vizargo and Aurelia take down! idk about heroes, but MAN this would be dope. Give the Volatists the ability to either summon or control the nightmares, THATS THEIR WHOLE IDEOLOGY! It was so freaking cool to see it in campaign but during the survival mode? i was SO disappointed. Theres also really no recourse to choosing a side at all, just super small bonuses that are almost immediately forgotten about. we dont need no superweapons or uber units, just some more adjusting. The order should have all units health and damage boosted to match their aesthetic, with armor or more armor since theyre warriors; the Rebellion should be cheaper units with an emphasis on rag tag units that you could recruit either more in bulk, or have a % chance to spawn additional units from any faction, since ya know, theyre rebels; and the volatists should be more focused on corrupting nightmares, being more cult like, and having some dark essence production/utilization. sorry for the rant. just so much potential
