This was a tough game
This was a tough game. I had to play it on the easiest difficulty, and still it felt like hard mode. Several of the missions I had to repeat multiple times, with each attempt learning more and getting better. Reloading saves was necessary at times, and on certain scenarios I would realize by mid/late game I was in an untenable situation and would reluctantly have to restart and play more optimal. Time in always against you in this game, you can't be slow and have everything perfect in your town. On one particular mission I thought to myself after trying if half a dozen times that they simply made the mission too difficult and it was not going to be possible to win it. This game is very good. It has a addictive element that had me thinking about how I could improve when I wasn't playing. I would take a half a day break, abandoning the mission in disgust, thinking it is impossible, only to ruminate on it and try again later and ultimately beat the mission.

This game just runs too fast
This game just runs too fast. I think I would really enjoy it if you weren't under such constant, intense time pressure. I'm kind of old now, and I don't think that fast, and even the easiest mode doesn't seem to slow things down at all. I can never finish getting things built before getting overwhelmed by enemies. The easiest difficulty mode in *any* game should be Baby's First RTS, set so easy that the dev thinks it's dumb. But here, it just reduces the number of units that come at you, instead of slowing them down. So if you aren't skilled enough to build very, very quickly, you're going to lose. Please, let old people enjoy games, too.

Diplomacy Is Not an Option is not the game for me
Diplomacy Is Not an Option is not the game for me. There’s a lot I love here – the combat is satisfying, the strategy is engaging, and the base building is genuinely enjoyable. However, the difficulty is on another level, and for me, it crosses the line into being deeply frustrating. Even playing on Easy, I’ve sunk countless hours into a single map, constantly reloading after failures, only to eventually hit a point where it’s clear I cannot possibly win. There’s no recovery – if you didn’t build fast enough at the start, you’ve effectively lost, even if it takes you hours to realise it. Some players will enjoy sinking time into mastering every aspect of this challenge. But personally, I found it too unforgiving and ultimately discouraging. Yes, I am salty – but I wanted to provide an honest review so you know what you’re getting into.
