This game is cool just don't come at me, okay? Like I'll throw hands for this game, okay? Like it deserves someone to stand up for it cause who else will, okay?

I love the aesthetic. I love the cheeky self awareness. I love the gameplay. I genuinely think it's amazing and worth exploring. I feel like I don't encounter enough of whatever this genre is, and I know it's out there, I do. Tactical army command where you spend most of the time decking out your base and making sure it looks cool.

I maintain there's a lot of depth here. Did my itch get scratched just from campaign? Yes! Could it have gotten scratched other ways? Maybe after I'd played for a while but yes!

Just. It's good okay. It deserves a sequel directed by me. And by directed I mean I just make sure its cool and I'll know it when I see it.

(NOTE: This review is from the perspective of me when my brother told me this game "doesn't hold up" from our childhood.)
