Disappointing for me as well. It don't regret backing it in the slightest since it was the best chance by far to get another SupCom-like but it is flawed at best.

The units are mostly uninteresting. I don't know why they have separated the land factory into vehicle & bots factory, they seem mostly interchangeable to me. The stratospheric & inter planetary game-play is very limited (you have only one type of attack satellite that you mass produce).

The UI has some catastrophic oversights. Even if you have visible coverage on a whole planet, you don't get any alert if an enemy sneaks in (only when he/she attacks). So you have to constantly monitor all your planet(s).

Procedural generation + round planets creates maps that IMO are not very interesting.
