Steam review snapshots
It's Total Annihilation, but faster, more competitive, deeper strategically, and it has chickens (aka great single player experience).Each factory has a theme and the units you can build are built around that theme, and to support each other.You can do the missions in 2 player coop.Why it fits
Check it if you want simulation, strategy filtered by weird, single-player, co-op.
