God this game was great, I'm so glad that Microsoft decided to axe the studio to recoup almost 70 Billion in wasted funds, in addition sacrificing the game to Games-Pass for no gain.

Pure anxiety, and a stress test for coordination skills. 9/10 lacks more clown murder.

While the game has potential it does not quite live up to its trailers for the most part. My short lived exsperiance was one of constant annoyance; from people yelling for their resupplying of weapons only to later be annoyed when they changed their minds and you finished a hour long drive and endless clicking fest, to having a overall disdain for new players trying to ask questions and learn from their own failures, all culminating in a slow crawl campaign of attrition that while some people enjoyed, I did not.

On paper the game is a grand-scale war with a asthetic between WW1 and WW2, what I believe the plan was for player interactions was to have players making supplies in the back lines, moving them to a processing station, then from their to making weapons, and then lastly to the front-line troops... unfortunately this is often interrupted with petty arguements and griefing. A example of my times with such was, I was mining and refining for about 1 hour until I decided to take what I have made to a factory and make some weapons to give to a nearby base requesting them. I finished making the weapons and moving them to the front, on arrival I was told they weren't 'enough' and in response I had 3 men throw grenades at my truck and destroy my supplies.

I decided to try asking a question in region chat about if I made a mistake, and no one responded. I asked once more, stating I was a new player and was told in rather harsh language that I wasn't wanted in this game. So I've decided that I'd heed their advice and refund this game. I don't hate it, but It just wasn't fun for me.

If you can get past the game breaking bugs at low FPS at times, this is quite a fun RTS.
