An awesome but now old and janky game. Yes, there are mods but they can only do so much. This needs a proper sequel!

if you don't wanna read just know games amazing 9/10 get it if you like physics and intense battles and also destructible stuff. I love this game, it's amazing and hella addicting, the trailer is a bit misleading could lead to people thinking it's a sort of forts type game ig or open world 1v1 when it's not really, it is pretty challenging even on easy difficulties sometimes the physics can be very annoying but they are amazing, kind of big learning curve and the tutorial is pretty terrible doesn't really tell you how to play campaign just tells you how to control dudes and fight but give it some time it's worth the effort. it really sucks the devs abandoned this game I can see it would have gotten alot bigger if they kept updating it, there is a community project which is free so get that instead of this but all in all a great game it's got a lot of content in the scene stuff, it's very repayable in both scene and campaign (I have not done much of campaign yet most hours in scene* imo wave defence is the best, I love how everything can be destroyed and the body parts you shoot off have different effect *shooting off arms removes the ability to hold weapon or really anything and shooting off legs makes them unable to move). I hope the devs come back to this game, 9/10, 1 point away cuz devs left

[*] Buy on 80% sale for 4$ [*] Installed on pc, pretty cool game [*] Installed on laptop and it says it can't find the executable [*] Remembered this game is open source [*] Open gay linux terminal (I use arch btw) to install open source version yay -S cortexcommand` [*] Installs and works without issue [*] Realize the open sourced community released version I got for free has more features this one on steam. Still a good game though. 2D physically simulated pixel engines always have a cumstain(soft spot) in my pants(heart) The only reason for buying this is if you have monkey brain and like seeing steam numbers go up. Otherwise just get it for free. Too bad the devs abandoned it...

Filled with fun destruction and even more FUN with MODS! You should download as much as factions or things you can and you will see. Game itself is so addictive!

Sept. 2024

Have played this an incredible amount over the years due to how fun of a sandbox game it is. But it is clearly unfinished and quite rough. Also I think it has just broken recently as it will not start at all without crashing unless I use an entirely different version (made by the community) of the game which is a shame. I have kind of grown out of it, but I can still look back on the dozens of hours of fun I had playing with the different mods that are available. Great!
