Help me please... I have played 900+ hours of this game and I am still playing. The most immersive game I have ever played!

Game is either the worst optimised thing ever OR its a crypto Miner

Game uses 97% GPU Utilisation of a RTX4070 Ti Super on the MAIN MENU, sus as heck. Best Avoid.

This game has alot going for it, now with unit modding and map modding in the game i have changed this review from a negative to a good review. The direction of the game is looking promising!

I bought this game many years ago and for some reason it popped up on my new list, i clicked on the news link and it was the dev rambling about how steam are screwing him because people are leaving bad reviews "not because the game i s bad but because of his political views"..... Guy was using game updates (that can be sent to young children) to promote ;

Their transphobia
"...BESTIARIUS also adds a "heal" option -- even if you don't have Medicus, or Medicus Emeritus, or if you're a man who has inverted his penis into a vagina, the BESTIARIUS will automatically train animals after healing, but it won't make you a woman." - March 31, 2022, DOMINA 1.3.22 BETA dev note.
Their anti-masking views
"TAKE OFF THE ♥♥♥♥ MASKS - Next time you're at the grocery store, try showing a woman your face. Be confident, unafraid of the LIES -- you might get a girlfriend. Women like confidence. Women don't like dudes who cover their faces in fear. What are you afraid of? Getting laid? Grow up." - March 8, 2022, DOMINA 1.3.18 BETA dev note.
The opinion that some men are just WEAK and SORRY and utterly PATHETIC because the dev is clearly such an alpha male, and also christianity is your best option.
"( * some men still wont fight. they're weak. ... if you want to be told how to live your life, read the new testament. the internet will only give you lies.)" - May 6, 2021, DOMINA 1.2.89 BETA dev note.
Their conspiracy theories
"no way John McAfee killed himself. highly dubious. highly ♥♥♥♥♥♥' dubious." - June 24, 2021, DOMINA 1.3 BETA / "did john galt kill himself? no, but everybody at the motor company probably wished he would, in the fictional novel "atlas shrugged" by ayn rand." - March 22, 2022, DOMINA 1.3.21 BETA


So yes dev your right, its not because the game is bad its Because you as a human being are complete scum, forcing your political views and disgusting language on young people. You put your political idology out there and guess what, its not steam fighting back its the USERS we think you are a complete scumbag. Thats why your game deserves to get review bombed.

For me i feel this mod is a step back from Rising Storm 2. While i can appreciate that the devs have put a lot of effort into the tanks and mechanics the mod falls short in almost every other aspect for my self. They have taken the Engine capable of rendering lush green jungles and made bleak featureless, poorly designed maps. There is almost not attention to detail in the maps. Barren, with odd features and clipping glitching rocks you can hide in. It more reminds me visualy of Red Orchestra 1 maps. The flow of the maps is very boring with designs rarely leading to any intense combat but rather to a slow crawl - litrally in most cases as the way the maps are laid out often hinder any real combat. A lack of terrain features makes for very dull linier battles. No vegitation meaning impossible to flank on most maps (id even settle for dead bushes). The only other problem being the tanks them self's as how the game works with roll limits. If your anti tank dosent do his job its as good as over, if they die 3 times in a row because they cant get to a good position to shoot (map design) your team grinds to a halt waiting for a few players to be able to do something.

TLDR: Appreciate the effort, maybe less time on the ability to ski and more on maps that are actually fun to play. All 11 are very barren and boring with no/ litttle attention to detail. (just take a look at Foy on Hell Let Loose)

While the game is getting bombed negatively because online is currently down due to the game being more popular than anticipated i dont think it justifies a negative review. This one issue while unfortunate will be solved with time -- the rest of the game is great. Solid progression and clean UI's with a lovely skill tree that smacks of path of exile. Graphicaly its the best hack and slash on the market with great end game content. Dont let a rocky launch due to too many server requests over shadow a Fantastic game.

While i would love to recommend this game i simply cannot, for this review i am ignoring the obvious problems of Hackers/ Modders and such but its more to do with the direction that rockstar have taken the game. While the game in the early days was fantastic, it has changed over the years. What was the major change that has changed the game for the worse ?

Homing Rockts ...... Nowerdays in online mode, sports cars and such have no place any more. Everyone is driving around in heavely armoured trucks, planes and hover cars. These all have spammable lock on missiles, which means it takes very little to no skill what so ever to kill people who are running Product/ Supplies with little chance of retaliation due to how easy it is to blow up said transports.

Ultimatly Rockstar added to much easy to use fire power. For instance - one of the most common runs are bunker runs. Most of the sale's missions for the bunkers involve trucks that only take a few rockets to destroy, only one of the missions gives you a truck capable of dealing with Air Targets (which around 50% of vehicals on warstock are). This makes it increadably fustrating to do such things unless there are 3 or 4 of you working together. How ever when doing such things, the amount of money you gain as an associate is pitifull and makes it not worth your while...

Ultimatly rockstar have made the game to easy for trolls and almost impossible for grinders... all things considered its like ther hoping you get fed up of getting rekt trying to make money and just buy the shark cards to get the items instead.

They Are Billions is an RTS/ Colony Sim/ Tower defence hybrid with elements of managment games aswell. The main aim of the game [Currently only survival mode, the planned campaign is going to be the main feature of the game], is to survive for a set amount of days againts not quite billions but 1000's of zombies (average kill count on brutal is 30-50,000 zombies).

Each zombie has its own AI with sight, sound and smell being there primary directives for finding you. Troops with guns will attract further zombies with the noise they make. The core gameplay loop is to expend, defend and gather resources untill the last days of the game, at which point you are assulted from all sides by 1000's of zombies. You will have to manage food, power and resourse (stone, wood, gold ect) as well as worker populatiuons to produce troops and defences in preperation for them final days.

After 250+ hours of plying this game i can honestly say, im not even remotely bored of it or itis core gameplay loop. Alot of people have complained about how hard the game is. Most of these people will have under 20 hours in the game and say that while they understand the mechanics of the game its just too hard. Too these people i would say you havent played enough to understand the mechanics if you find it hard. The game is well balanced in its current state, and the challange of a forced iron man mode is exactly what this game needs. The fun of this game is knowing that when you commit too a decicsion there is no going back. This means you will always be learning from your mistakes, this does make the inital learning curve of the game steep, but once you "get it" the game suddenly opens up into more of a managment game rather than survival. You will only survive by managing your coloney well and planning ahead.

Overall i found this game to be vastley enjoyable, there hasnt been a game like this that has gripped me and made me want to invest time into learning it and i find that rare in games nowerdays. Over all the arbitary score i would give this game is 9/10. (it loses 1 point on its current voice overs for the troops... they need work...)
