I'm not really into the whole RTS genre, but man, this one is a winner. I'll be sure to pick it up day one.
I'm very tempted but have to ask... 1) Are there randomized elements (i.e. will the AI come at you with different troop combinations each time you replay a level)? 2) Are any of the game modes scored or is it simply a matter of progressing through harder and harder stages?
Good questions. The game can be played on 3 difficulty settings, and the AI gets increasingly sophisticated as you up the setting. You also get a score when you complete each level, based on the time it took to complete, resources and popularity generated, and the number of units created. Each of the 3 profiles keeps score cards for all the levels, so you can go back and crush your old score!
Here are some screen shots for the other 2 operas you get to choose from. Now you can decide what army you think suits you best before the game is even out!
I LOVE the art style. Holy crap guys that is awesome. I can't give enough props to the creative design.
