Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
47 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Developed by OpenFront Inc and Evan Pellegrini and published by OpenFront Inc, it keeps its core mechanics approachable while allowing the unpredictable behavior of human opponents to provide much of its strategic complexity.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What distinguishes it from many territorial strategy games is its emphasis on massive multiplayer matches, where hundreds of participants can influence the same battlefield.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It's a great time killer with actually strategy involved that's neither too slow (like kiomet) or too fast, it has endless replayability and has a skill ceiling so there's that "competitive" pull to it as well as the fact that you can just sit for 15 minutes and paint the map with your colors.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
16 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This is a great game and is a lot of fun with friends and on your own, its quite competitive and skilful and can be extremely funny.
