Genre got rehashed / beaten to dead, the hype's at the successor of the genre, MOBA. No more innovation to take from RTS, unless you implement it as part of other genres/games. Which you could argue MOBA is.
I cannot get the game to play correctly. I'm using Debian with AMD open graphics, and about everything works fine, but this game is horribly broken with it. I'd love to play it.
I think it’s a cool tech demo. And that part is honestly impressive. But I find it a pain to play. You are constantly watching your back in 360 degrees on multiple planets at the same time.
Multi-planet battles while cool looking and fun are not balanced and most of the competitive matches are played with no orbital tech on single planet - these are quite similar to competitive matches in TotalA and really well balanced. If you play ladder or with people looking for competitive matches then it feels a lot more like old RTSes although you can still zoom out or send units in not so obvious ways (frontal attacks rarely work) which often makes for interesting surprises and strategies.
It takes a bit to get used to playing on planets instead of classic maps with borders but that’s what makes this game special.
