A Solid Buy

The version of the game that I was provided with, was a very fun real time strategy game (RTS). There were definitely some advantages to this game, that many mainstream RTS's do not have. For instance, I was very happy with a realistic power supply, defense, and realistic materials harvest. The realistic power supply gave your game an advantage over other RTS's and ultimately made the game better. Also, The realistic consumption of materials, they are consumed quicker, made your game better then other RTS's were one resource pile somehow lasts through the game. On the other hand, I was not so happy with the lack of; the ability to train your own soldiers, the variation in the buildings, the lack of variation in enemies (airborne), and the variation in the upgrades. I am giving this game a solid 4/5 because of its great graphics and sound as well as game play. There was a lot of though put into this game as well and it made a very fun game to play. In addition to that, there was also a lot of new features that made this game in a sense unique. For instance, the power supply idea is a good one, and is unique to your game, also the wave style attack made a great game to play, and prevented me from rushing my enemies base. Although, an enemy base to attack would be nice, the game was still a great game to play. The game play was very smooth and I did not notice any glitches or bugs, which made me very impressed with this game over other Internet games. The only thing that should be improved in the game play category would probably be a little more time in the beginning so that people can establish a defensive network. Also, I noted a small error in the attacks, many of the ships would simply fly through my turrets and leave them unscathed, perhaps this is an intended function, but regardless, should be changed. Otherwise, this is a great game and I will recommend my friends to buy it. I, myself, did not buy this game only because I recently bought an RTS before I had heard of this one. I would recommend more advertising, and overall it was a great game.
