Is it a decent RTS? Probably not. Just like Halo Wars isn't really a decent RTS. It's probably another example of a good RTS game for people who don't really like RTS games. Because of control and pathfinding issues you spend most of your time babysitting a single group of troops so there's just not the depth that experienced RTS players would be looking for. I’d say no.

The graphical style may allow for more action on the screen, but the first thing it made me think of was the likes of Yoda’s Desktop Adventures. More importantly, I’ve yet to find an RTS that works on the DS – which is a shame. The handheld is just dying for a decent RTS that isn’t either turn-based or boils down to simply throwing as many units into the area as possible. Should I give this one a look?
