Wow this is something totally new, and a worth-trying game. I'm looking forward to play it

 

It does look really cool.

 

Great game, I spent many hours on this game, its probably in my eyes better than the 2nd one it its own way, definitely less competitive and more chill!

Basically the AI is not op.
