“Not Happy or impressed with the new changes implemented in the latest update. I've played through the campaign twice before and it was enjoyable, but Devs have completely changed the campaign and broke the balance,…”
“Whoever designed the single player missions as well as unit balance needs to be slapped upside the back of their heads. Great game other than stupid balance, fog of war misbalance, lack of tactical pause, and design…”
“I wasn't expecting a lot from a Starship Troopers-themed RTS, and was pleasantly surprised by the enjoyment I was getting out of it... Until the fatal crashes started. Mid mission, nonstop I'd get a fatal crash that…”

“I expected it to be first person but, this game is pretty good so far with the story.”
“Every stage reminded me of the classic with Rico ... Are you goingto live forever you apes?!”
“Good adaptation of the starship troopers universe. But combat requires too much micro management for my taste, and unit control isn't polished. I played on the easiest difficulty just for the story (which was also not…”

“Had a lot of fun with this game. Didnt expect it to be this entertaining. Bought it very cheap on key-site. Dont know if Id pay a lot more for it though...”
“TLDR: Besides some annoyances in regards to arachnid unit design and pathfinding of your troops, this is a pretty okay modern RTS. Keyword being "modern." This is no instant crazy classic like SupCom or Company of…”

“This collected dust in my library for a long time. I had to get back into the RTS mood, but once I did it was a nice change of pace. Classical RTS, not too intense (most of the time).”
“good game very challenging”

“If you are a fan of Starship Troopers and RTS games (or even just RTS games) this is a MUST BUY. Fantastic gameplay, devs keep adding new and exciting content, and the visuals are very cool. Highly recommended.”
“this is a fun RTS game, if you want to kill bugs and play an RTS this does that fairly well. the only problem currently is territory mode. while i really like that they included other "armies" to play as i think it…”
“I love how experimental the gameplay feels while the tone just fits with the setting overall. Plus the dev team put their hearts and souls into it and it shows. 10/10”

“Disclaimer: This is based on the base game, not the dlc that I plan to play eventually after this review. First off, this game is super scripted, both in gameplay and in the player's objectives. You can't just do what…”

“This is a very fun, mission focused, and streamlined RTS. Replayability seems to largely come from the territory mode. I would love to see co-op support, but I enjoy this as it is and look forward to the upcoming DLC.”
“Love the game just wish it had a online Co-op mode to play with friends and work together to fight the Bugs”
“Don't let looks fool you. The gameplay trailers do not do the game justice. While I was apprehensive at first, the developers did a really great job with what little they have. The game has pretty deep gameplay…”

“GenAI slop is rampant in this game now, wasn't always like that though, devs used to care. Avoid.”
“The game has been out for nearly 4 years, but they still haven't added a skirmish type mode. Feels bad man.”

“Over all, not a bad game. My only issue with it is... The game designers clearly had one very specific way they wanted you to complete missions. If you can figure that out, then your all good. It's just very linear and there's no room for doing things your own way.”
— a player, Steam review · 8 hrs played“I finished the game. The upside, Yeah it's similar to movie and it's fun. The Down Side, i can't enjoy it cause every mission has constant bug attack and 1 friggin min to prepare for battle and the tf am i supposed to do. I wanted to explore and have some fun. Nope you have to…”
— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“Yeah, I play a lot of Stellaris and Total war, tbh by contrast this is just good fun. Romp around blasting bugs, create kill zones, run and gun. It's not that deep, but it is really satisfying. Territory mode is great! Looking forward to the new DLC. Hope there's a PvP/Co-op in…”
