So what did everyone think about this game?

[KoN_Ulla]

I playtested about 4 hours, imo potential to be decent new rts game if it comes mods/options to remove win condition from screen, make buildings smaller, maybe make minimap clearer, smaller waypoints and some other UI stuff. Would play it more if I could edit my hotkeys and remove the win condition from screen, but these things annoyed me so much I did not bother to play more.

Exept for the above it felt like a AoE game the small time I played so will give it a shot after a while, but think it will release like this in beta state so wont buy on release, Im expecting it to be good game after maybe 6 months of patches

The game feels very bland and uninspired but it has great potential to be a competitive game imo. The biggest problem is the lack of ctrl-find hotkeys like ctrl-r to jump to an armory so the game feels super clunky.

Also theres no ctrl-group stealing like in aom or sc2 so theres a lot of unnecessary apm with regards to just the general control/ui of the game.

The rotation feels bad, graphics aren't as expected for a 2021 game and they've released busted english 2 betas in a row so it looks like the devs have no idea what they're doing so far - they've also butchered china from the last patch, china only feels good for cheese fast 2tc or cheese fast heroic.

Overall, they need to do a revamp of a lot of the controls/hitboxes (for example, its next to impossible to select sheep to check for food left or whatever). Infantry feels weak as it usually does across most rts but infantry isnt really a viable late game option for example. I've only seen it on 1tc all in ram pushes.

It feels more like a $30 game than a $60 game, personally i probably won't be buying this game until they fix a lot of the issues, iron out the UI/controls.

The game looks disappointingly washed out and dark to me. The early screens look vibrant I don't know what happened.

That's a big part of what makes aom and aoe2 so good....they just look so vibrant and alive.

I haven't played it but I know the staff put alot of hard work into it. So good job from them anyway we have had new RTS in awhile. RTS is reasonable new for last 20 years before that it was only for Harcore gamers.

If it fails we have to wait for the next expo or game to the series. RTS needs more life to the genre. There's alot off potential but lack execution. For competive play needs good ballance and good design. For spectators good graphics and visuals. And for casuals fun and addictive gameplay.

Moba will probably be played by most around the world now. RTS will be around but I think we need to get new players in by attracting with unlockables or transactions to keep money come in from skins or paint scemes.

Don't think they listen to us were just fansite we are dedicated players but they listen to investors,ceo or big bussiness people. Rather then the bigger playbase or competive players.

I have feeling that the market will go towards mmosrpgs and virtual realitys as we integrate to newer technology and sense of incitement. But that somewhere in the future. If people make use off newer technologys.

These Sacred Site wins feels a bit retarded. They should've kept that out from ranked games.
