I am a big fan for RTS games, but not such for tower defense. Cubemen tried to combine both, having your men able to move around the battlefield and- that's pretty much it. An update came out to change your character and added a new mode, but the game itself is boring. I got only 3 hours out of it, and completed all the levels on singleplayer. The multiplayer drags on for hours and is boring, also as Yahtzee said "A game has to stand up on singleplayer." The game needs a level editor bad at this point. To summarize, it is mediocre at best.

The game is extremely easy to learn, very pretty, and has a pleasant 1900's soundtrack. The game might be easy to learn, but the AI will find every way to screw you over. Even on beginner the AI will find ways to beat you, so the game takes much more strategy than normal game battles. The harvesting feature is very fun and can be used in many ways, offensively, defensively, or for some extra income. The game is simple, and doesn't have that much to do, which can be a con or pro. The game also forces you through the campaign to get more maps. Some people will like this, but I hate campaign. Overall, a great deal for 10$ and a breath of fresh air from the complexity of the Civilization games.
