I want to like this game, I really do. I LOVE the concept of it and I hope in time it can evolve into what it aims to become.

But as it stands now it desperately needs robust quality of life updates before anything else. For example todays update adding a destructible environment in the "desert biome" won't make the bones of this game any better. Sinking time and resources into a Co-op/Multiplayer beta won't fix the Ai or clunky camera that is needed to really take this game to the next level.

The update did add some great stuff to include a revamped recoil system for weapons and began to work on some of the global map issues and that's going in the right direction but it seems like the devs are excited to add new things into the game before fixing what is already here. That is what makes it hard to recommend.

So all the AI can just produce units endlessly and just randomly start aggro-ing on you right off the bat even on easy mode, Garbage trash heap of a game 1/10

I cannot stress to you how crap this game is, Quite literally started the game and within 7 game days 4 previously friendly nations declared war on me at the same time. Even those with trade agreements.

Update: Quite literally cannot even play the game as every start regardless of which nation you play, within a week without fail the AI starts declaring war on you 3-5 nations at a time. Its literally unplayable and i demand a refund.

I've played a lot of this game, all of these reviews below are through the lens of the games easiest modes, meaning the settings all on the easiest.

Note: This game is just even harder on harder settings, but doesn't change the core issues.

- Can only construct one building at a time and it takes forever (X)
- Research tree is barebones and sucks and is clunky (X)
- Battles Are fun, despite issues with AI, the game is cinematic (O)
- Starvation is rampant always, too many different resources to manage (X)
- AI doesn't have to manage resources with same difficulty as player (X)
- Recruiting troops takes way to long, even with cheating the AI can surpass the player (X)
- The AI on Humvees, APCs, and other turret vehicles have way to much accuracy, often sniping on sight (X)
- RPG iron sight doesn't even line up to where it's suppose to land (X)
- Rearm system is stupid, resupply system is stupid (X)
- Needs a larger modding community, because the game can't function without one (X)
- Easy to cheese with defensive tactics, but the actual defensive battles are harder for some reason (X)
- Stability is an arbitrary concept, have fun dealing with rebels, the police mechanic doesn't work (X)
- Overpriced for a buggy mess, overpriced for a fundamentally broken game (X)
- What the hell even is authority, and dictatorship, I haven't seen these mechanics do anything (X)
- Political decisions are just small values that affect stability, but like i said stability is always low (X)
- World market system is actually interesting, but it's like playing lotto, and needs to be revamped (X)
- Diplomacy was never an option, takes time to do diplomatic missions, and can only do one at a time (X)
- Diplomacy is bad, AI goes to war with you constantly even after making armistice(peace) with them (X)
- Diplomacy is unknown, is an alliance with a country an offense one or defensive one, I still don't know (X)
- Import resources option is useless, it's another lotto like feature (X)
- Light tanks are expensive and die to one RPG shot, compared to expensive heavy tanks which die in 3 (X)
- Can't take vehicles out of my army, very bad (X)
- Money feels not as useful as it could be (X)
- Winning battles is fun (O)
- Desperate defenses are fun (O)
- The Follow (K) command doesn't work properly (X)

Score:

3 O
23 X

3/23 = 13%

In my opinion that's how finished this game is
