EDIT 2: It is now 2019, 3 years after my initial review. The game is now playable while having shadowplay active. An option to upgrade for regular owners of 'planetary annihilation' has also been added. I have played another few matches and the game did not crash. I'm dissapointed that it had to take this long before the devs did the obvious thing, but I'm happy that they did. Hence, I will change my recommendation of the game to "positive".

EDIT: It is now 2018, 2 years after my previous review. I have played another few matches. Before the first match I had to figure out why the game crashed when I started a match. After I disabled shadowplay, which aparently caused the crash, I started playing.

Unfortunately I experienced another crash after a match or 3. At first sight the game hasn't changed, though. The only difference I've found is that it now also crashes, which it didn't previously. Still don't recommend.

Original review:

Basically, if you already own Planetary Annihilation, you're paying 10€ (now that it's on sale) for a few extra units.
If you don't already have the original then this is a good purchase. I don't see why it's not just a cheap unit DLC for the original because basically IT IS!

PSA: the devs LARP on the review page with accounts like mikeyh_ and mikeyh__ that only own Uber games and just spend their entire time shilling and downvoting negative reviews.

Make this shit known.

I don't care if it's more, I care that it's a standalone. Could have just NOT bought the game in early access to support them and would have saved like 60€ :p That's this game AND a AAA title :p

It's a lot more that just a few units... play some more and you'll see why.
