Tooth and Tail, developed and published by Pocketwatch Games, is a real-time strategy game that rethinks the genre by stripping it down to its essentials and rebuilding it around speed, clarity, and immediacy. Instead of sprawling tech trees and heavy micromanagement, it delivers a condensed experience where every action matters and every second carries weight. The result is a game that feels both approachable and intense, offering a different kind of strategic depth—one rooted in decision-making under pressure rather than mechanical complexity.

The most defining feature is how you interact with the battlefield. Rather than commanding from an overhead perspective, you directly control a single leader unit who moves across the map, constructs buildings, gathers resources, and rallies troops. This design grounds the experience in a physical presence, forcing you to be in the right place at the right time. You can’t do everything at once, and that limitation creates constant tension. Choosing to expand your economy might leave your base vulnerable, while focusing on defense could slow your growth. This trade-off becomes the core of the gameplay, turning even simple decisions into meaningful ones.

Resource management is streamlined but impactful. Food acts as the primary currency, used to build structures and produce units, and it must be gathered from specific points on the map. Expansion is essential, but it comes with risk, as overextending can expose you to attacks. Before each match, players select a fixed set of units, which defines their strategy from the outset. There is no mid-game tech progression, so success depends on how well you use what you’ve chosen. This approach shifts the focus from long-term buildup to immediate tactical execution, rewarding players who can adapt their plans on the fly.

Matches are fast-paced and rarely overstay their welcome, often concluding within minutes. This brevity gives the game a sense of urgency that keeps engagement high, with little room for passive play. Every moment feels active, whether you’re scouting enemy positions, reinforcing defenses, or launching an attack. The use of procedurally generated maps adds variety, ensuring that each match presents new challenges and preventing the gameplay from becoming predictable. This combination of speed and unpredictability makes it easy to play multiple matches in succession without losing momentum.

Despite its simplicity, the game offers a surprising level of strategic depth. Unit interactions, positioning, and timing all play crucial roles, and small mistakes can quickly escalate into larger problems. The balance between offense and defense is constantly shifting, and understanding when to commit to a push or pull back can determine the outcome of a match. The streamlined mechanics make it easy to understand what is happening, but mastering the system requires careful observation and quick decision-making.

The setting adds another layer of identity, presenting a dark, allegorical world where anthropomorphic animals are locked in a brutal conflict driven by scarcity and ideology. The narrative is delivered through a series of short campaign missions that shift perspectives between different factions, offering glimpses into the motivations behind the war. While the story is not the main focus, it provides context and atmosphere, giving the battles a sense of purpose beyond simple competition.

Visually, the game uses a stylized pixel art approach that is both functional and distinctive. Units are clearly readable even during chaotic moments, and animations convey personality despite their simplicity. The art direction, combined with a strong and memorable soundtrack, creates a cohesive aesthetic that supports the game’s tone. The music, in particular, enhances the sense of urgency and tension, reinforcing the pace of the gameplay.

There are, however, some limitations to this design. The simplified mechanics, while elegant, may feel restrictive to players who prefer the complexity of traditional RTS games. The lack of direct control over individual units removes a layer of precision that some may find essential, and relying on the leader unit for all actions can occasionally feel limiting. The single-player campaign, while effective as an introduction, does not fully explore the depth of the systems, leaving multiplayer as the primary space where the game truly shines.

Ultimately, Tooth and Tail succeeds by committing to a clear and focused vision. It doesn’t try to replicate the scale or complexity of other strategy games, instead offering a faster, more immediate alternative that emphasizes meaningful choices and constant engagement. It captures the essence of strategy without the excess, delivering an experience that is both accessible and challenging.

In the end, it stands out as a bold reinterpretation of the RTS genre, offering a unique blend of simplicity and depth that rewards both quick thinking and long-term understanding. For players willing to embrace its approach, it provides a consistently engaging and highly replayable experience.

Fix controllers please.

This is an amazing split screen RTS game. The gameplay is absolutely perfect, and the pixel art and music are amazing.

But it is completely unplayable, the DPad and Left Joystick on DualShock 4, and 8Bitdo SN30 Pro in Windows or Mac mode doesn't work. Steam input on or off doesn't fix it.

Bough this on Mac for split screen PvP but it is sadly unplayable.

Good sprite art and aesthetic and a very novel black comedy premise means the presentation is quite good, but past the first couple missions the campaign is aggressively gimmicky and dishonest.

Compounding things is the fast pace of the game and lack of explanation for anything beyond the most basic of features, turning it into a tedious process of trial and error before you find one specific cheese strat that means you don't have to actually think or engage with the mechanics of this "strategy" game.

I'm sure it's a lot better as a PVP game but as a single player game it's an unfulfilling exercise in frustration.

The concept of an RTS built for a controller is pretty foolhardy, but this game proves it can be done! Not only does it have a grotesquely fun plot, but it does a lot with everything. The factions are cosmetic, and instead you mix-and-match units in a freeform kind of way. The matches are quick and varied.

The game even takes the bold idea of using procedurally generated maps, and unfortunately demonstrates why this is a bad idea. Multiplayer games often have issues with unfair map setups. But forgetting multiplayer, the campaign missions will vary widely in difficulty due to the map. A mission seems incredibly difficult, but then you try it again, and realize it's not bad at all. You just got a bad map.

Other than that, though, this game is an absolute delight and I recommend it for any RTS fan.

Me cuesta darle un negativo porque Tooth and Tail es un juego precioso y, cuando lo juegas en partidas abiertas contra la IA (rollo skirmish), es divertidísimo. Ahí es donde realmente se ve el potencial del juego.

Pero como esta reseña va enfocada a la campaña… pues toca ser honesto: la campaña es demasiado rígida. Te obliga a usar ejércitos muy concretos, te planta objetivos bastante toston y te fuerza a jugar de cierta manera, especialmente si buscas completar los heroicos. Se siente más como resolver un puzzle estricto que como disfrutar un RTS.

Intenté acabarla, y a solo unas misiones del final he tirado la toalla. No lo estaba disfrutando; me estaba forzando. Es un negativo a regañadientes, pero por la campaña, no puedo darle otra cosa.

Couldn't get past 20 minutes. The tutorial made it clear right away how unfun this game is. I had to force myself through it.
The core mechanic of using a character to control your units and build is a pain in the ass. It feels more like a "puzzle" RTS than a true RTS (I just wanted SC2 campaign with pixel art...). The pixel art looks great, but the absurd amount of color grading makes everything way too yellowish.

[b]Just look at the game stats: Of 1.4 million copies sold, only 500K ever launched it. Median playtime is 1.5 hours. [/b]Compare that to a 2-hour indie game like Nodebuster: 366K players out of 400K copies, 4-hour median playtime, at $3 vs this game's $20.
[b]It's really polished and looks amazing from the outside, but don't be surprised if it just sits in your library unplayed like the majority...[/b]

這款跟大眾印象中的即時策略略有不同，它更著重於領導這點，所有的安排都需要依靠英雄去指揮，要蓋甚麼東西，兵要怎麼移動&防守，基本都圍繞著英雄，所以跟傳統RTS的多個區域布局競爭有蠻大區別。
個人遊玩感想就是這款遊戲的資源控管非常嚴格，導致玩起來蠻難的，光一般戰役，輕鬆向玩家就玩得挺痛苦地......

First of all, thank you for adding the Ukrainian language to the game — it means a lot to us.
Secondly, the game itself is very interesting, offering a fresh and unconventional take on the strategy genre. Finding something new in a genre that’s almost 30 years old is no easy task.
The story and the artwork are beautiful — it’s a wonderful game, thank you.

Tout d’abord, merci d’avoir ajouté la langue ukrainienne au jeu — c’est très important pour nous.
Ensuite, le jeu est vraiment intéressant, avec une approche originale et différente du genre de stratégie. Trouver quelque chose de nouveau dans un genre qui existe depuis presque trente ans n’est pas facile.
L’histoire et le style visuel sont magnifiques — c’est un très beau jeu, merci.

гра досить цікава подобаеться нестандартний погляд на стратегію жанр в якому в механіках досить тяжко щось знайти. Плюс пародія на революції і першу світову війну. Ніби алюзія на Тваринний Двір Орвера, видно чим автори надихалися. Дуже цікаво показана революція зазвичай вона будуеться не ітелеренціею і високоморальними людьми а маргіналами алкоголіками і іншим низчими верствами населеня якими легше керувати. Дуже цікава гра, Дуже.

Loved the art style and soundtrack, and the lore, absolutely brilliant, all of it. The campaign is indeed pretty frustrating on some levels and the AI is probably a dirty cheater but setting the map to Random instead of Standard and lowering the difficulty to 60% or 20% helps. Again the lore is exquisite, loved that the most in the singleplayer and damn that finale. If conflicts for power and furries get your gears turning then this game is absolutely for you. The only real shame is the online is pretty dead nowadays but you can still get games on the devs' Discord server- and even then I wouldn't blame that on the game it's fantastic and playing with humans is also very fun and it was probably more than I could imagine, just circumstances. A revival of the online oh I would dig it but one can only hope. Great game <3

There is a serious error in the game. It works fine in other languages, but when I play in Korean, the game crashes after the tutorial video ends with an error message (system.runtime.interopservices.comexception).

It's hard to balance my feelings on this game. I love the visuals and the theming, the base mechanics are rock solid, but I always felt like I was missing a tutorial or two on how to actually properly learn how to play. I'm no slouch at strategy games and I'm reasonable okay at puzzle games but more often than not it felt like victory was by the skin of my teeth- and not in the good way that Dark Souls evokes.

Maybe the way it plays just didn't gel well with me, it happens. Multiplayer is dead at this point but the campaign is very well constructed and the higher level AI's can give you a good run for your money.

After years, I decided to give the game another try.

It's still the same non-fun-zone game that, for some reason, tries to make you not want to play it again. The art is beautiful and the intentions are very good, but the gameplay is simply infuriating and tedious.

The difficulty scale doesn't exist; you don't learn how to play, hints are useless and you just have to suffer and try again and again, constantly banging your head against a wall.

It's a shame, because if they had been more kind to the gameplay, it would have undoubtedly been an indie cult hit that would have lasted for years.

Tooth and Tail je osvěžující real-time strategie, která zaujme především svojí originální stylizací a netradičním zasazením – válka mezi antropomorfními zvířaty v dystopickém světě přináší zajímavý mix grotesky a politické satiry. Hra boduje svou jednoduchostí: ovládání je intuitivní, tempo svižné a mechaniky přístupné i pro nováčky v žánru. Zároveň ale nabízí dostatek hloubky, aby zabavila i zkušenější hráče. Kombinace vizuální identity, atmosféry a chytré hratelnosti dělá z Tooth and Tail skrytý klenot mezi strategií.

I have never seen this much flavor in a game before, and I played many games with flavor before I go for those specifically.
Themes and set up of russian civil war, with gritty and grimey art and vibes to fit, with the best voice acting I have ever witnessed, and I mean the best. The game's voice acting never uses english, it uses a made up language made to sound like russian, and it is spoken by all voice actors as if it were a real language, my god, this is some heavenly ♥♥♥♥.
Graphics are a bit hazey given they're very pixelated, so that's a slight downside, but again, the voice acting and sound design and especially the soundtrack which is just as good, make up for that easily.
The only issue is this is an RTS game, at which i suck ass oh god why. So, unfortunately, the experience may be heavily dampened to people like me who cannot get much from the gameplay itself, at least not multiplayer. So keep that in mind; while the gameplay DOES pride itself on simplifying the RTS style, some people like me still can't play stuff like this for crap. If you're like that, then I recommend you get it on sale.
Otherwise, this game is easily worth its price and even more imo, this is a gem of a creation that should be recognized more.

Be warned, the multiplayer is dead. Despite this it has got a great campaign which has unique objectives per mission with a great story, instead of being a "sequence of skirmish matches."
The Devs also made an amazing decision to make all the ranked multiplayer achievements doable single player by playing skirmish matches against the higher AI difficultys.

I would recommend waiting for a sale (often -75% sale every couple months), definitely worth getting, even if you are inexperienced with RTS games.

in ~16 hours I was able to beat the campaign, and get 100% achievements, The rest of my playtime was spent playing skirmish matches.

Despite personally really liking the concept of the game.
Gameplay wise is simply is flatter than a pancake.

Between missions roll some dice who knows what troops you'll have access to.
The maps are dynamic lazy slop which means "no mission is the same".
Therefor some missions especially the sneak ones took ages to pass because I simply couldn't find passage to the objective.

In maps where you do have a base to manage it becomes incredibly obvious strategy is no part of this game.
Your options are: Defence Fight or offence fight. You can't do both because you are locked to your flag person.
You attacks are orchestrated by run up to enemy base and get shot while calling your people over.
Of course for artificial closeness the "farms" that provide "meat" run fallow(become unproductive) at random points meaning you can't base build and doing so is utterly pointless. As your farm will become unfarmable after a few minutes meaning the only strategy is to attack relentlessly.

Troop composition is done by building the appropriate burrows to spawn certain troops but since the resources run thin at all times this is a double edged sword as it costs food to build the buildings, spawn the troops but also to claim more farms and farm positions.

Essentially the games strategy is always... Zerg opponent. There is no other strategy.

The visual style looks nice and the missions are all lightly unique so it never feels like you are playing the same mission twice. But that is about it.

And multiplayer could be interesting however I've never been able to to play it multiplayer. So who knows.
Their claim is "With matches lasting from 5-12 minutes" which for a strategy game is... very bad. Not sure why that is boasted about.

Most strategy games are snowballs where you accrue resources and claim turf until you push your enemy into a position where they can not longer win, only hold out.
Or they are games of capture point, clear area...

This game is just... Run around like a crazy chicken because you need to be in 4 places at once. Which isn't normally an issue as you can order troops from anywhere to anywhere and build anywhere at any time by sending an engineer or constructor / whatever. In this game you HAVE TO, PHYSICALLY, CROSS THE BATTLEFIELD, REPEATEDLY. To go rebuild farms, build new barracks, defend, if you aren't attacking you are losing.

Imagine if the allies have to pack up their troops and fall back to their countries to place new barracks and farms then completely restart invasion from scratch..... And all troops can only really be in one place so if you know where that is , you can just delete their farms forcing them to fall back to defend or M.A.D.

Personally I couldn't recommend it. It is going to be a drag to even finish. Maybe I might change my mind if the multi-player works out better but I sincerely doubt it.

Oh and the story makes no sense. Animals eating animals. We're all intelligent but we eat each other anyway but hey I'ma start a revolution because they ate my son even though that is literally what I've been doing with my son. Hypocrites all round none of the characters are likeable. It's not a redemption arc, just cannibal tribes fighting about who gets to eat who. And being upset that someone ate someone. And yet they are all backstabbing each other non-stop.

本文和政治，实际存在的人物无关，纯属娱乐。
游戏还不错，RTS类，后期有些难，写评测有些灵感枯竭，为免错误的评价游戏，干脆搞个段子，大家看个乐

红娘子军和蓝头鼠的战士们，指挥员和政治工作人员们，工人们，集体农庄的种田猪同志们，智力劳动者们，在敌后暂时陷在绿帽党压迫下的兄弟姐妹们，我们那些破坏自爆侵略者后方的光荣的鼠牙游击队队员们，同志们！

我代表鼠维埃政府和我们红娘子军向你们致敬，并庆祝伟大的九月革命第一周年。

同志们！今天是在严重情况下庆祝九月革命第一周年的。绿帽党背信弃义的进攻和强加于我们的战争，造成了对我们的威胁。我们暂时失去了一些地区，敌人已经进犯到我们农场的门口。敌人认为，在第一次毁灭性的自爆打击之后，我们的军队就会崩溃，我们的国家就会屈膝投降。可是，敌人大大地失算了。我们正面战场上的投矛游记部队虽然暂时失利，但仍然在整个战线上前赴后继的抵挡敌人的自爆攻击，使敌人的经济消耗严重，而我们后方的劳作者们，已经在全境范围内组成了一个统一的后勤补给，让我们有时间和精力训练更加优秀的士兵粉碎绿帽侵略者。

我们的国土曾经经历过比现在的处境更加危急的时日。试回忆上个月我们庆祝和蓝鼠淘气三千问结盟时的情形。当时我军四分之三的领土都在；在绿帽武装干涉者下，我们暂时失去了鼠牙磨坊，狐娘训练营，猪猪伐木场等地区。当时我们刚拥有同盟，还没有红娘子军（那时我们才刚开始创建红娘子军），我们缺乏粮食，缺乏强大的军队，缺乏军队训练设施。当时有数支黄鼠狼部队围攻我国。可是，我们不曾灰心，不曾丧气。当时我们在战争的烈火中组织了一支狐娘狙击部队，并把我国变成了一座高产军事要塞。当时，源源不断的粮食供给鼓舞了我们为反对武装干涉者而战。结果怎么样呢？结果我们粉碎了黄鼠狼的部队，收复了全部失地，争得了胜利。

现在，我军的状况要比那时要好得多。现在，我们无论军队、粮食和基层战斗鼠，都比之前丰富许多倍。我们现在有同盟军蓝鼠，他们同我们一起结成反鼠西斯侵略者的统一战线。我们现在拥有精锐的重型地面隐身战斗蜥蜴和精锐的狐娘部队，它们正在挺身保卫着我们国土上的自由和独立。我们对于食物资源不感到严重的缺乏。我们的领袖，包括友军的蓝鼠诺维斯基同志都一致支援我们的战斗部队，帮助我们粉碎绿帽鼠西斯分子。我们有源源不断的种田磨坊。我们有伟大的抗争精神，就像以前一样，仍然鼓舞着我们去进行保卫战争。

我们能够并且一定会战胜绿帽侵略者，这难道还要怀疑吗？

敌人并不像某些惊慌失措的鼠内人士所形容的那样强大。自爆突击鼠也不像坊间所描述的那样可怕。谁能否认，我们红娘子军曾屡次把大受吹捧的黄鼠狼部队打得仓皇而逃呢？如果不是根据绿帽宣传家大肆吹嘘的声明来判断问题，而是根据绿帽军的真实状况来判断，那就不难了解，绿帽鼠西斯侵略者正面临崩溃。现在饥饿和停产笼罩着它们，在数个月的战争中，绿帽军已损失自爆部队不计其数，资源消耗殆尽，人员后备宣告枯竭，不仅陷于绿帽侵略者压迫下的各个农场劳作者们，而且连看不到战争尽头的绿帽军本部士兵都充满了愤怒的情绪。侵略者正在作垂死挣扎。毫无疑问，它们是不能长久挣扎下去的。再过几个月，再过半年，也许一年，鼠西斯一定会由于其罪行累累而崩溃。

红娘子军的战士和狐娘狙击队员，指挥鼠和政治工作鼠，投矛游击鼠，同志们！全世界都注视着你们，把你们看作是能够消灭绿帽侵略者的力量。处在鼠西斯侵略者枷锁下的被奴役的各地农场也都注视着你们，把你们看作是它们的解放者。伟大的解放使命已经落在你们的肩上。你们不要辜负这个使命！你们进行的战争是正义的战争。让我们的伟大先辈——鼠里特里•涅鼠斯基、鼠克宁•顿鼠科伊、蜥尔玛•鼠宁、矛突•鼠札尔斯基的英勇形象，在这次战争中鼓舞你们！让伟大的胜利旗帜引导你们！

彻底粉碎绿帽侵略者！消灭鼠西斯占领者！

这一群丧尽天良、毫无鼠格、充满兽性的家伙们恬不知耻地号召消灭伟大的红娘子民族，侵略者想对我们鼠维埃的人民进行歼灭战。好吧，既然它们想进行歼灭战，他们就一定会得到歼灭战。今后我们的任务就是把所有侵略我们祖国领土的绿帽军和黄鼠狼占领者一个不剩地歼灭掉。对鼠西斯决不留情！消灭侵略者！

我们光荣的红娘子军、我们鼠类的自由、独立万岁！

在伟大先烈的旗帜下向胜利前进！

This indie game "Tooth and Tail" is a very different approach to the RTS genre.
Very simple yet with potential to be complex.

By their nature, RTS games are predominately complex and have a high learning curve, as expected from Dedicated PC games. You must be strategical and have good reflexes to compete.
No wonder the genre exploded and caused multi-million dollar tournaments and entire countries (Korea) recognizing it as the first E-Sport!

Due to that, the genre outlived its time and is in a decline. Having such a difficult barrier of entry does not help the issue.
That's where new age RTS like this game come into play.
While flawed in its own way, "Tooth and Tail" proves that the core gameplay loop of RTS can be enjoyed by all, even if all the complexity is stripped down and the genre is distilled to its very basics.

This game feels perfectly tailor-made for playing on tiny and inferior Tablets or Steam Deck.
The matches can barely last 5 minutes and require players to be hectic and highly aggressive.
No macro: There is no base building, only a meager attempt at fortification, if you can even call it that.
No micro: You don't control an army but a single commanding unit which also happens to be your actual Mouse cursor!
-
You can imagine what issues arise with this. Your unit is your cursor and your screen is locked 100% of the time on you. Meaning you can't survey the map. Your commander can be killed, which wrestles the control from you and forces you to wait and be utterly inactive until your unit respawns shortly. That can mean life or death for your army that is left behind enemy lines..

The game was made with simplicity in mind and can be easily learned. Maybe TOO easily.
You can drop it anytime and pick up in a couple of years and be just as good as you were before.
The development focused too much on making the controls intuitive and streamlined for mainstream casuals.
So it is no wonder that the multiplayed died. (Sure there is a dedicated Discord community, but who hasn't by now..)

What I absolutely enjoyed about this game is the pixel artstyle and the very political story!
The pixel art is cute and the headquarters are fun to explore, but in actual gameplay it gets a bit hard to navigate pixelated maps where you can't distinguish from a rocky wall/cliff or a passage/stairs..
The single player campaign plays through all 4 factions and shows you the conflict from each one's perspective.
(I wish the gameplay itself was more story-focused like Starcraft/Warcraft campaigns instead of each mission being a challenge akin to puzzles. The difficulty was all over the place, sometimes it spiked, other times it mellowed.)
-
Each faction is politically unique and goes in depth to differentiate between them. The conflict can be applied to any country, but in this game fits the 1917 Russian Revolution the most.
1) Bellafide (Longcoats) represents the agitated capitalist bourgeoisie who were fine with injustice until it finally touched them personally. Now a revolution is ignited in the name of a seeming meritocracy but we all know it is in order to preserve the power and influence of the merchants in dire times.
2) Hopper (Commonfolk) represents the proletariat lower-class that was always getting the short end of the stick. Their revolt was inevitable and may be justified, but their lack of a functional plan would sooner or later pop like a bubble and leave the entire country in squalor.
3) Archimedes (The Civilized) represents both the aristocracy and the church. Both holding power in the past, both utterly corrupt. Their inhumane ways may have worked if they simply wouldn't get so greedy. Truly the rats feasting on the dark side of a decaying Monarchy.
4) Quartermaster (K.S.R) represent the secret police like the KGB or CIA. But in this historical case, more the KGB who took over the military after the collapse of the monarchy. Holding great power, but lacking the head to decide what to do with it, so they follow their original directive of "keeping up order at whatever cost", even if that order is misplaced/ out of date.
So basically Russia in a nutshell.
Not exactly Bolsheviks, Mensheviks, revolutionaries and Lenin, but a distilled recap version of history.

Try out this new take on RTS genre, maybe the future of RTS is in tablets/Steam deck..
(But don't come crying in the future when cross-play is introduced and superior PC masters outperform your pathetic aim-assisted console controllers, like it already happened in the FPS genre.) lol
I greatly enjoyed the political aspect,
that alone is a big plus in my book worth checking this game out.

First of all I do recommend this game because I love RTS genre and we are currently developing a hack'n'slash RTS with gamepad support.

What I liked:
I played the game on Steam Deck, and it plays great. As intended.
I did not try multiplayer, what has to be the strongest side of the game, as I saw in the reviews. Though they say multiplayer is dead so take You friends to enjoy
Many complain about the controls and I cannot agree with them - it plays as intended on gamepad.
If You would like to try what is RTS on Your Steam Deck - You are welcome.
Game is polished. Just play it and You will see how much love was put into this peace of Art!

A matter of Taste:
Lore is mega weird :D
I totally dont appreciate it, would feel much better if it would be more like human vs zerg
Just dont understand that indie vibe, I play warcraft or starcraft
For me it feels like game for kids with marxist Rats
Game sessions looks to be quite short, about 10 minutes which maybe is Ok
Dont do cybersport like multiplayer, because that would force You to balance all the races
and that would lead to less fun gameplay. And just dont do cybersport unless You are big corpo.
Look at what happened to Stormgate
In my opinion the authors should have focused on Singleplayer, rather then creating another RTS with dead multiplayer

Cons:
Gameplay feels like Eunuch-RTS for kids - it lacks of deepness. Just very basic mechanic, a few units types but...
Vampire Survivors is also a simple game and much more interesting! Deeper!
Warcraft 2 from 1996 had much more interesting missions and more variety of units! Without any scriptings!
Campaign is short. Looks I've finished it in 1.6 hours. Campaign UI is also mega weird and unclear,
maybe i have missed something and there are more missions?

This game is super nice however without a single player campaign, it's destined to fall in the ditch of try-hard MP games which never got famous.

If there was a 20-30 hour single player campaign I'd tell all my friends to buy this game, the art and vibe are on point however I can't just play Blood Bowl and Hero Academy by scrimmage match-ups, without learning to play first. Redwall meets Steampunk is so baller however I cannot just go "find online match" and feel good about it.

Довольно неплохая стратегия в реальном времени.
Лично меня привлёк арт - дизайн и рисовка героев, мне нравятся истории про прямоходящих животных (Блэксед, Рэдволл, Мышиная гвардия и пр.).
Механика игры несложная и доступна всем новичкам. Хотя меня, как любителя СК или Варкрафта, это огорчает. В этой игре нет никакой особо глубины.
В принципе, сказать много об этой игре невозможно, но на пару - тройку вечеров она точно сможет увлечь.

***Дополнение к обзору.***
Поиграв дольше, увидел существенный минус игры. Это - абсолютно несбалансированная кривая сложности. Т.е. начальные миссии проходятся сходу, а потом сложность резко взлетает вверх и многим без её понижения будет сложно продвинуться дальше (благо, что разрабы сделали опцию снижения сложности).

Поэтому на одной чаше весов - минусы в виде нулевой глубины, отсутствия сюжета как такового (что важно для стратегий, если что!) и нулевой баланс сложности.
На другой чаше весов - красивая рисовка и атмосфера, интересная задумка в духе "Скотного двора".

Поэтому смотрите сами, что для вас важнее и какая из этих чаш перевесит.

Great game with very engaging RTS. I mostly played with friends I believe that is where the most fun is to be found but the story mode is also great and very worthwhile. Definitely one of the more unique games i've ever played but it was a blast all the through.

打完了战役和几场本地来评一下。算是开辟了一条RTS简化的道路吧。问题上三种重要操作（普通移动，指定攻击，强制移动）放在一个键上还是太难受了。并且狗屎地形太多，操纵者移速不迷路又太快迷路了有太慢，想多回城时候回哪个城的选择也没有好好优化。导致想要移动顺畅起来难，顺畅调动军队起来更难。
优点上简化了很多操作尤其是管理方面，并且操作上简化了但管理难度和趣味性依旧不低。兵种上战前自由选择很有意思跟组卡组一样。并且通用兵种可以方便的选择自己套路和策略，也方便新手学习。三阶兵种都很有特色，虽然大概率出不来但能攒出来一两个基本就能直接围绕这个打就能平推。操纵者随着时间会加血上限防止前期探图太随便和后期指挥时直接秒死，如果能后期加移速方便管理就更好了。战役剧情能说的不多，短而优秀吧。

It's a well polished game and built for the controller which is fantastic considering how there are scare amount of RTS games that allow controller play. After 100% the game, which wasn't too difficult, I can't really recommend this game simply because of the population of the online multiplayer. Every time I logged in there was no one playing multiplayer. While the game itself is decent it feels like half the game is gone with the inability to play Multiplayer. On top of that, the RTS mechanics are little too simplified for my taste.

I tried my best to like this game. But it was impossible.
One word to describe the whole game is irritation. The game initially grabs you with a funny setting, impressive pixel animation and beautiful art - and stops there. Then the game starts to annoy you: story campaign with no campaign map, bland two-line lore that's easier to skip than read, poor tutorial, annoying achievements, boring and holey gameplay, hell, even the sounds in this game are annoying and off-putting.
Definitely do not recommend.
