I have finished the campaign in the first part. But as for the game. Glorified tower defence. Pure rock paper scissors and clicks per second gameplay at it's finest.
Still a bit of fun every now and then but to compete you need to get your act down to a fine art.

That's great news! Thanks for the heads-up, Jomni. O0

Playing as the Humans, I had the best luck concentrating on Battle Cruisers (be sure to research The Yamato Gun!). Battle Cruisers are vulnerable to several types of attacks but if a player can build enough of them, winning is a certainty.
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

...considering that tower defense games either didn't exist at the time or barely registered (I recall none until several years later, maybe 10+ years), I will announce that this comment makes me feel old. Thank you.
