Right off the top I will say without a doubt I sucked at this game and it will colour my view on this title. The overall premise of the game is fairly simple and game play is quite easy to get into the swing of. You basically send waves of your troops to capture various neutral camps to increase your troop production. There are also towers and forges that can be captured to help defend your buildings and increase the strength of your units. To help out you can choose from a number of different hero characters that all have different abilities though I only had 4 available to me in the beta. The thing that bothered me the most about this game is that once you really start losing there is no real chance to mount a comeback. If they start to outnumber you that turns into a real advantage that can’t be made up. I found that once you lose one or two settlements the games is over and you may as well give up, though it may well just be me being terrible like I said before. I would like to give the single player campaign a try though as playing against a computer may be marginally less frustrating for me.

The look of the game is quite appealing with lots of bright colours and cute characters with some nice effects when you use hero powers, though nothing too taxing for really any system. On top of that the controls were easy to use and intuitive which was a good thing since the tutorial wasn’t working correctly during my beta experience. On top of that the music was enjoyable with a light and airy feel to it and the battle sounds and ambient sounds matched the overall feel of the game nicely.

I don’t want to be harsh about this game because it’s still a beta and I won’t give a number score to an unfinished product but while it looks great and plays well I just didn’t enjoy the game. I really would like to see the PvE content, and hopefully there’s some sort of comeback mechanic for the PvP matches. That would at least make it feel like I have to chance to win since I’m just a baddie. Once the full game is available I want to give it another look and review the whole thing. Maybe I won’t be quite so bad at it then either.
