My First RTS! – Amoebattle Review

This is the first time I've tried playing an RTS and it was an amazing experience! I thought the learning curve was very smooth where each mission I learned more concepts to improve my strategy. While many missions were difficult for me, it was always incredibly rewarding when I do manage to make it to the Victory screen. I've noticed other concerns about how the difficulty jumps in certain missions (namely 4, 7, and 11), but if you keep your thinking caps on, use the terrain to your advantage, and employ the probes at your disposal, there is a way to get through these missions with relative ease. Not only is it very fun and accessible, the game also controls very nicely--I've tried it on both my iPhone and iPad and found the touch controls intuitive and simple. If anybody was ever interested in RTS games, this is the place to start. And for anybody who already plays RTS games like Star Craft, I've had my brother (who is a hardcore RTS gamer) try out Amoebattle and he can vouch that it is also challenging and satisfying. After beating the campaign, I've since started to work on the Achievements, and while some of them are HARD, they're also super fun to attempt because they truly test your critical thinking and resource management. Plus AMI your AI assisant is delightfully nerdy and awesome!! Definitely comes with my highest recommendation all around!
