First off, I want to say that the price is maybe a little high (by really just a few dollars/euros/pounds/whatever).
The actual gameplay is good. I like anticipating what the enemy will throw at me and trying to defeat other people. I have a few problems though.
The UIs, tutorials, basically all of the text, though, have many errors in grammar, spelling, capitalization, which isn't a problem I would have with anything except for the fact that this is a game I paid money for, and the homies who wrote the text couldn't even bother correcting a spelling mistake. That's a mistake I would expect to see in a high school presentation, not a polished, ready-for-public experience.
Plus, I don't like the fact that the troops you can buy every turn are randomized. Why not just have all of them be purchasable every wave so you rely more on tactics and not RNG? I have no idea. Then again, this bad thing is also a good thing since it makes each game feel different, since you have to adapt to what you are provided with each turn.

Basically, the game itself is good, but it has some questionable choices that make it meh. Once again, like many, many people have said before me for many other games, I wish there was a mixed option because that would more accurately explain how I feel about this game. But still, it's above a 5, so i'd give it a 6 or 7/10.

265.5 hours I wasted, and it's time wasted I don't plan on adding to.

impossible to learn because you get curbstomped, can't get any new weapons because you get curbstomped, can't do anything without getting curbstomped, now that I think about it. on top of that, the game is priced about double what it should be. this is not worth 30 dollars. you can get rainbow six siege, an infinitely deeper and more fun game for the same price. my advice is get for honor instead, it's very similar to this game but it's better because each fight is not 10 years long. also, they straight up lie by saying this is a "fast paced game," it isn't since everything you do, the other person can either parry or counter in some way. on top of that, there is little to no sense of progression, which for honor also does better.

tl;dr: buy for honor instead, please.

The game looks amazing, but there's no tutorial and it's very complicated. It's also too literally and figuratively slow. Half of the time i'm trying to fix a problem I have to idea how to fix, and the other time my tank is getting stuck or is way too slow.

It has a really good premise, which is cool

It's alright. I can see the potential in the game, let me say that. But the AI ships are much stronger than your ships, the physics are, well... not amazing, but even through all of that, I still like it. I will almost absolutely rebuy this once it reaches a later stage in development. As of now it feels more like a tech demo than an Alpha. There are obviously problems that i'm sure other players will tell the dev(s). The building is actually quite fun, although I feel that it's a little too complicated as of right now. If you delete a certain material, like the type of material that prevents water from coming in, you don't get it back. Again, there is LOTS of potential. I feel like the game does need a graphics update, currently you can SEE the pixels if you are zoomed in or out too much. It's actually pretty fun, even with all of the setbacks, another one being that the player's ship is significantly weaker than the enemy ships. Again, I do actually like it, but it's not exactly... how do I say it, playable in its current state.

The SBMM is a joke, all of the enemy mechs are both better and stronger than you, while your team is literally full of the dumbest people on earth. Everyone mains the same mechs, and the game isn't new player friendly at ALL. There's a VERY VERY steep learning curve, and the amount of customization that you HAVE to do is insanity, both in and out of a game. For some reason your mech is literally made of glass while the one you're fighting is like you trying to punch a brick wall.

But the graphics are good, especially for its time. The amount of detail in the control is INSANE, you can even power your mech up and down to avoid thermal imaging. But sadly, there is only an extremely small handful of good weapons and there's practically no tutorial. All you get is a very brief how to shoot, move and target, and that's basically it.

I literally cannot express how un-beginner-friendly this game is. The customization is WAY, WAY too extensive (half of the time I don't know what mech i'm using, and the other half i'm getting destroyed by some min-maxing piece of garbage who's played the game since day 1.) and again, the Skill Based MatchMaking is an ABSOLUTE JOKE. Most of the time you're getting murdered by people with LRM's from across the entire map, and it doesn't help that you have now idea how to counter that. this game REALLY, REALLY needs to update its SBMM.

TL;DR: This game is absolute garbage. Maybe a 3/10 on a good day. On a bad day, it's a 1/10.

Although promising at first, this game is shallow. The only real theme your MMORPG can have is medieval kingdom. I hope that this game fleshes everything out, because currently it is just not fun enough to have for very long. After you reach a certain point, you just have all of the regions or you have done all the (real) quests. Sadly, it is not as hard as i expected and it didn't really do anything super new or interesting. I hope that this game becomes much better one day, I really hope it will.

TL;DR: The game is shallow, but it has an extraordinarily promising premise. It's fun for about 2 hours, but after that it's not. I'd rather buy another Tycoon game, sadly. I will probably rebuy this later down the road, but I cannot currently recommend it in its current state.

my brain

the game is fun but everyone sweats a lot.

pay to win, unbalanced, and full of sweats, but at least it looks good right?
