Controls - Fairly standard for RTS games
Graphics - While zoomed out they're nothing impressive, zoomed fully in you can see decent detail, but it's difficult to play the game while in so close. They aren't fantastic graphics, so you aren't missing much.
Gameplay - Don't expect much of a story. While they have framework for lore with interesting potential and the single player has fun flavor text, there's no storyline. Build, blast, blow up.

I played and enjoyed PA classic, so I also enjoy this game. Fundamentally, there is very little difference. You have a commander with which you build factories that build combat units. Send those to kill the opponents commander and protect yours, last man standing wins! Unlike PA classic, PA Titans includes the (spoiler!) Titan class of robot. Giant machines with unique attacks, massive armor and they all deal more damage than a nuke.
I wish the different commanders had different abilities or there were factions to choose from with unique units. Or that you could use enough nukes to create craters in the surface of a planet. But those small gripes aside, the game is great.

Destroy the enemy by forcing planets to alter orbit, with planets that shoot lasers, by overwhelming nuclear destruction, or massive fleets of robots. There's everything you ever wanted in a space game right here.

It's way more than a re-skin. Most units are completely different in many ways. The faction is very different.

There are way more differences than the factions in supcom, for example.

@BluTooth - I did! It's just a hair past a re-skin of the default faction, but I still like it. I didn't mention it in my review, however, because it isn't part of the base game.
