Early Access Review
I hate leaving reviews when I have hardly played a game but I couldnt stand this any longer. I own the full version of this game and while I was not that interested in the rts parts I thought the controlling specific soldiers in first person sounded really ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool.

Boy was I wrong tho.

This game does first person worse than any other game I have ever played (and I've played a fair deal of grass simulator). the gun play is terrible, the animations are awful like ugandan knuckles bad, the movement is clunky, the graphics are pretty bad (just very plain and no character to them, sometimes this type of aesthetic is in bigger fps games but they usually make up for it in quality of graphics (render wise) and animations that are actually good), and even the controls have a feeling of everything being misplaced.

Perhaps I will come back and try it again when Im in the mood for more RTS centric gameplay but there was so much wrong in my first impression of this game that it pushed me right back out the door that I had just entered.

Interesting idea, flawed execution.
4/10

Part 2 of response:
Your argument is childish, other people can dislike the things you like, as things can not be objectively good, and as long as they give reason for their opinion there is no reason to have to defend it.

Any game with as many reviews as this one will approach an accurate score and the only thing you can do to influence its score is not comment on other's reviews telling them how their opinion is wrong but by leaving your own review, which at nearly 2000 hours of play you still haven't.

If you want to discuss further go for it, but without any guarentee youll even read what I write I'll leave it here for now.

While you have a point that its an RTS for the most part, it advertises itself as "an innovative mix of real-time strategy and 3rd, as well as 1st person controls." which could very well lead one to believe if its in the first line of their personal description that they think its either a major selling point or a major part of the game, or quite possibly both. They did not execute their "innovative mix" well and my review reflected that.

I understand when people defend their favorite games when someone leave a vague negative review, but I was clear in mine what I didnt like. Furthermore I did check the recent and helpful reviews and no one had touched on the part of the game that is fps so my review is helpful to anyone wondering, as the gameplay video of the fps looked low end but decent while in actuallity it was clunky and unenjoyable. Also I gave the RTS a try and it wasnt bad but I'd still prefer rts games like door kickers or numerous others that perform more smoothly.

this game is originally RTS game (the ai is not even designed for FPS game). FPS was just an extra tool for you to use. FPS mode is just an improvement from direct control from previous game. You should not expect the FPS to be as perfect as those in legitimate FPS game like call of duty or battlefield. FPS in this game was desgined in a way that the balance of FPS and RTS aspects of the game had to be considered. If you are interested in playing FPS, buy Squad instead.
