FAN ART

Story is cool and interesting and reminds me of Saturday morning tv show and has alot of cheezy humor.

Controls are easy to pick up and easy to understand.

Enemies are cool as alot of variety to them and all have own look and own attacks to learn to beat them.

Units are cool as all have own look and own stats and own uses aswell and fun use jet bike and power suit as very fun and also very cool if your buildings are alive they will spawn new units without needing more resources.

Heroes are cool as both have own uses and own look and feel to them such as Clawz ability to repair units and buildings very good for defence and Chips ability to overdrive units to move and attack faster to buildings ability to speed up spawning units.

Art style is nice and detailed with stuff to find and very fun with multiple points of interest.

Collectables and upgrades are cool as adds more lore and also different upgrades to suit own playstyle or to help with certain missions.

Buildings can be fiddly and easy place wrong way such as turrets face wrong way especially in battle as can be hectic placing them while being attacked.

Some of the levels and some of the challenges can be tricky to complete as may take bunch of tries.

No reason to replay the levels as can get all the collectables and stuff on first play of level or if not bothered by them then no reason to replay the level.

OVERALL SUMMARY

Overall the story is fun with easy pick up controls and enemies and units all have own look and own feel and uses to them with nice art style reminds me of old Saturday morning cartoons and collectables and upgrades are cool and have own uses and more lore to the game. However for £24.99, Buildings can be fiddly as easy to place turrets facing the wrong way especially in battle and some levels and challenges can be tricky and if not bothered by the collectables no reason to replay levels again.
