As far as being a blatant Command and Conquer clone, this succeeds at bringing nostalgia into the now.

Pros:
Minecraft like graphics.
Fast resource gathering.
Settable resource amounts.
Chat.
Self hosting multi-player.
The soundtrack is nice.
Very smooth 60fps+.


Cons:
The community is tiny.
You're at the mercy of people either hosting games, or joining yours.
You're likely to get curb stomped by the game's veterans in a very short time frame.
There is a lack of maps.
There is a lack of map creators.
4v4 isn't enough players. 6v6 would be much nicer.
Lobby chat's latency is SO bad, I can wait for 35sec+ before a message comes through. However, when in game, nothing lags (what black magic is this?)


Over all, my experience with the game was a good one. The players who stomped me, were also nice enough to point out how to get better resources, and faster army growth. So far, the community hasn't really been all that toxic. Well, the community so far is tiny, so prepare for long wait times.

I give 8-Bit Armies a 4/5 for being fun. I give it a 1/5 for being a blatant C&C clone.

A decent investment, if you're looking for an RTS to bring back your nostalgia for C&C. Or you could just buy C&C. But, if you want Minecraft graphics C&C with out a mod pack, get this game!
