GAME IS UNPLAYABLE WITHOUT GENPATCHER. Keeps crashing since the game is old, and the optimization is meh. Ea, that's all I have to say.

The actual game is great. One of the best RTS strategy games I have ever played. Old, and always gold. Grew up with it, and always looked for digital copies on steam.

Glad I reunited with it.

One dolla game

Movement is buttery smooth.
You can use almost anything to beat the enemies up.
You can stomp Balls

• Very Jank mechanics.
  - In this game, your character's hit box is a circle, which indeed affects the visual reflexes since it stays the same form and mostly location even if your character is halfway through an attack.
  - Before you even question it, yes, you will indeed encounter many hits that do not physically collide with your character, yet they still count as a hit. This is a very big issue for players with a heavy-offense game-style.
  
  
• Bad recovery mechanics.
  - Occasionally, after performing an attack while recovering back to the platform, you could very clearly rub against the wall while recovering, yet it will not register as a collision and you will just fall thinking you hit it. You could have practically licked it, hell some people speculate that you got some children out there with it, but no that's just not enough.
  
  
• Stupid clash mechanics.
  - Maybe I was too harsh, let's say clashes? When both players hit each other at the same time? Well, if the latter hit you with an aerial attack, he wins over your light attack. Who made that BS "clash" system???? I completely understand signature moves' upper hand over light attacks, but if they're both light, why does an aerial indicate any superiority? The ground normal attack could still do more damage yet still be undermined...
  
  
• Nonsense Ranking and matchmaking systems....
  - First of all, for fair matchmaking, avoid experimental. It is a universal game mode and it's often usual that you'll get higher ranked players warming up. So maybe play ranked? Sure go for it, but expect a smurf every 5 games or so. Good luck.
  - What about season restarts? Well, after struggling for hundreds of hours to manage a high rank, you will have a higher chance to be in the same rank next season after your placement matches.......
  - Sounds too good? It is, there's a catch. They made it so BS that not only will they put you against people who already finished their placement matches and hold a rank (which you still don't), but on top of that, god forbid you lose even 4 (out of 10) of those games. You will end up a rank and a half down the gutter. Ciao.
  
  
• Crossovers and recycled BPs.
  - If you are looking for a lazy game where every time you finish an exciting and on-edge update, just to be smacked with another crossover, this is your game!
  - I'll do you one better, they also recycle battlepasses and claim that it is "for new players to experience the thrill", throwing dirt all over Og players that put trust in this game in its early stages. Now what they own is not special at all. Great! That'll be 10 dollars please!
  
  
• No community monitoring, then we all get punished.
  - Thanks to a broken and non-acknowledged report system, we lost out post-game chat, and got some half-arsed emojis instead. It's like amputating a leg because we had a sore ankle.
  - Community is also poison, so are the community's mods. On their discord community server, you could make a mistake, get banned for it, and after admitting fault, you can get banned again for a totally wrongful reason (my case). They won't even hear you out since you already got banned twice... What the ♥♥♥♥?
  - In my case, I had a slur in my profile (which is my right both racially and ethically), I admitted fault anyway and got unbanned. A person in my club then got banned for the same reason, so in turn I SOMEHOW GET BANNED as well for "evading bans"... I don't even know how a vegetable with the attention-span of a nugget would make that correlation without us having ANY relation in the server what so ever.

But anyway, that's just me, maybe somebody out there enjoys playing with jank systems, talking a big game over a server while spending hundreds of dollars on the same garbage every couple of months.
