There seems to be some really shady stuff happening with the launch of the game.
Appearently many features that are advertised on the Steam page are not in the game yet and the game itself is still labelled as an Open Beta. Maybe that's connected to the EGS cancellation?

how can it be not ready to be released on EGS when it's already on other PC stores? is there a lot of work involved in getting a game on EGS?
People said the game was like a trash-budget version of CoH/DoW thats completely RNG based combat so you might as well just go AFK and let the game play itself out.
So no surprise.
So no surprise.
No, PC versions aren't identical. For a lot of games, each store/launcher integration means having a separate build for that one.
It's not the exact CoH clone some people expected but it's not that either. It's definitely micro heavy. Maybe even more so than CoH.
Wouldn't be surprised if EGS required more work from the devs compared to Steam or GoG.
It isn't trash budget, it is just made by single-player for single-player folks. The competitive scene is propped up by money, and will evaporate as soon as there is no more free money available.
The game isn't even RNG, it is just clunky and uninteractive with an extremely narrow unit diversity, despite the fact that they look cool and thematic. It is a bore to play, CoH2 remains the king of these real-time tactics subgenre of RTS.
according to a steam review: https://steamcommunity.com/id/VGMKoren/recommended/826630/
that seems really weird. when they made the page maybe they fully expected all those features to be done with and then they just... weren't?
The units are just shit and barely responsive. It isn't micro heavy, it is just badly designed. It takes forever to push something like AT cannon to the point where start and finish the engagement before that shit even rolls into the position.
It has the philosophy of pointing a few things and then watching how your monstrous robot shoots. Quite similar to the shite that was DOW3 which prioritizes flashy interactions and clashing blobs over skill/function based gameplay.
A single Comet in Coh2 has more micro opportunities than the entire IH army composition.
Maybe it's using store specific stuff for the online and it's not going as planned?
Would you say it's worth playing for the single player? I was thinking of getting it but some of these impressions are making me think twice.
I don't know, don't care about RTS SPs... Plus it is an indie RTS SP, so forget all the polish and production values that StarCraft or HW had.
I think, unless you really really like the theme, you shouldn't prioritize this game. AI is as dumb as it gets, absolutely no brains or logic, it didn't even understand how to pick up resources or retreat in Beta.
For the strategy SPs, I would recommend either going with character based tactics games like Desperados, or Total Warhammers for the battlefield carnage.
I mostly used infantry in the demo so I didn't really get that impression. The fact that you can pick up field weapons means infantry blobbing is pretty ineffective. And stompy mechs can get hard countered by cheaper units in bunkers.
