The only game where you have fun loosing, and eventually make a comeback against all odds!

Winning in the first run is almost impossible. If you play like in any other strategy game, you will be squashed immediately. This game is like fighting automated drones and nuclear weapons with sticks and stones. This game is not balanced, it's not meant to be balanced. You're weak, paralysed, unable to do anything while the enemy is slowly devouring you. if you disturb the mouth that is eating you, it will chew faster. if you don't... well you are eaten.
It's about finding the right balance of protecting yourself only when it's essential and watching your enemy have most of the victories, only to let them believe you are not a threat, until you are ready to overcome them.
I highly recommend reading in the forums, what actions makes the aliens angry, because this knowledge is essential before starting (and not even hinted in the tutorial). otherwise, you will realise too late, you already lost, without understanding how you can even win.
