Gameplay

I have no problem with a game that takes something already done before and solidifies it with extremely well-crafted gameplay, look at Company of Heroes and you’ll see a perfect example of that.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 235 sampled reviews raised it
In my opinion, it was far superior in almost every way with both factions looking and playing completely different from each other and the graphics being overhauled.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.

8-Bit Invaders has a pretty fun multiplayer mode as well, which is to be expected of most RTS games at this point.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.

I really enjoy when RTS games let you play together with others, and this game's co-op mode was no exception.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

This game's soundtrack does sound super similar to 8-Bit Armies', but regardless, I think Klepacki's tunes still capture that mix of action-packed battles and strategic thinking pretty well.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
7 of 235 sampled reviews raised it
Their epic unit is the Destroyer, a powerful melee unit that can recover health by eating enemy infantry, fire a burning beam at aircraft, and turn enemies into Xenodogs.
