Art of War 3:RTS strategy game

The idea of the game is great, and it does good at playing like a tradtional RTS. I will add, however, that progression is limited by the pay wall. Gameplay wise, other than some significant balancing needs the game in essence is great. I will also add that I did make an in-game purchase, that I did receive. However, about five days after I lost all my progress and I lost my progress, including the purchase. So, until there are some substantive changes (and I get my money back), 2 stars.

So far so good. It looks amazing. Reminds me of C&C generals. The tutorial leash is too tight, though. I'm on mission 5 and still being prompted to do every step. I hate when games tell me what to do, then give me no other choices. If the game makes all the decisions and forces me to do them, then what am I doing as the "player" besides watching? Anyone who needs that much instruction is probably not smart enough for RTS games. The tutorial should explain unit movements, tech tree, resources, building, and special abilities all within the first 2-3 missions, then take off the leash and let us play.

Great game, very like Command and Conquer, which makes me happy. Fun and challenging single player campaign and skirmishes... could be better. It needs some balance changes... I thought it was just me, but other profiles seem to be in similar situations. I haven't spent any money yet and I'm over 130 skirmish on both sides... I've had a ton of fun with the single-player campaign, which is 100% free and challenging. I might want to spend some money to get ahead in skirmishes once the balance issues are fixed, and the single-player campaign is well worth a 5 star review all on it's own. Updated: either the balance issues are fixed or they were in my head all along. I have played an equal number of games for both factions and my win rates are equal, so the perceived balance issues were probably just in my head. I am at 56% at 500+ games played and have not spent money yet. Lots of fun had.

To be honest this game is great in so many ways . Few bugs that do get in the way , but it's a game and things happen. My biggest issue honestly is the pay to play issue . I don't have a problem supporting the studio . But there are alot of ppl that spend upsurd amounts of money to get ahead in research . 100$ can honestly move you forward 3 to 4 months in research within 10 minutes . So if your not prepared to spend money , then don't expect to play the game much . Because you will either lose

It's a decent game. it has a balancing issue between the two factions. Don't get me started on the cheap tactics that this game has. I believe it shouldn't even be possible to crawl your base into the enemy base and just wreck the enemy base with fortifications, it doesn't make the game fun, it's just annoying. Also the pathfinding is just stupid. my Jaguars get confused and take wrong routes or just can't get to the destination, because it can't path find its way there. Please fix this.
