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.
