AI Review Summary

  • Highly engaging cooperative and multiplayer experience when played with friends.85%
  • Excellent replayability and value for the price point.70%
  • Satisfying vehicle combat and resource management mechanics.60%

Cons

  • Friendly AI can be frustratingly useless or actively hinder the player by stealing vehicles.80%
  • Missions can feature unbalanced enemy spawns, particularly excessive tank waves.70%
