The game has several modes apart from the standard campaign. Relic has its own style when it comes to the RTS, which, if you are more used to the more defensive, slightly slower paced Warcraft, Age of Empires or Command and Conquer games, might be were the game completely draws you in, or turns you off. Everything is there to fully immerse you into the battles you will be inevitably facing. All of this is further supported by a nice orchestrated soundtrack that enhances the experience by playing large, dramatic pieces for the most action oriented parts of the game, and slower, more linear pieces when there are no battles at hand. The menus are all designed with a worn metal military feel, while buttons have portraits and illustrations that make the game accessible to control. The overall graphics of the game, especially the cutscenes, are not very impressive, but they do get the job done as to guide you through the narrative of the game, but it’s not such a big concern while playing, as the framerate is stable and you will be mostly zoomed out, blazing through the map, constantly giving your orders to your troops.
