For having just launched the game, it’s on to a great start. The idea is awesome, it isn’t glitchy, there are different maps and you can be different colors. It is definitely the best of the “.io” games in my opinion. Yes, you’re not playing against actual people, but you can’t expect that this early. Hopefully they do transform it later.
All of this being said, there is still work to be done. The two biggest downfalls so far are that the AI is REALLY stupid, and the maps aren’t really strategic in any way, just random. They have themes, which are awesome, but they are randomly designed with random clumps of troops to pick up, that you can just hover over without worrying about the AI fighting you for them. With the random map designs, and the AI random movements, there really isn’t any skill, challenge, or strategy involved, which is kinda painful as the player.
Again, the app just launched. So you can expect these things to come in as time goes on. Right now it’s fun, but it isn’t something that you’re going to be playing once a day for the next year. If there were live players, and strategic maps, it literally would be though.
