Worse in every way
- The fog of war makes it unfun, because you don’t have to pay attention to offscreen threats.
- Every level starts with a reconnaissance to find free command points or etherium lying around. The game is balanced around a person who doesn’t bother searching for that, so the game becomes trivial and non-rewarding.
- Some hero abilities are OP, and are approximately the equivalent of a free orbital strike from the first game every 40 seconds.
- The enemies aren’t threatening. Even when I felt like I should have been overwhelmed, I send in one squad and use a hero ability; 60 seconds later, my base is still alive, and all the enemies are dead. How am I supposed to lose?
- tower healing is tiny, and is balanced around that. If you lose a tower due to being attacked, you just build a new one. Even if I lose a refinery, I usually take it back almost immediately.
- enemies are more stupid and more passive. Attack, and they ignore you; run away and they stop chasing.
- There’s an actually threatening enemy? Either it’s nerfed with low damage or low health, or it appears one at a time. Or you just nuke it with a hero ability or the rapid laser tower instakill (like, one instakill every 10 seconds).
- the levels aren’t fun: “destroy x”; “stand on this circle for 30 seconds while we send several low-dps enemies towards you”.
- OPsec missions are now random and of the same difficulty.
- You can choose your squad? The original game had more diversity and utility of units than there are in the free units of this game. The paid ones (yes, paid! I bet you loved KR Vengeance!) are allegedly not much better!
- There are some cheese strategies by sending an arial unit, then dropping your hero on top of the target you want to destroy/capture. What good is a structure that can be soloed by one hero?
I don’t recommend this game.

Strategisches RTS mit überraschend guter Grafik
Iron Marines Invasion macht richtig Spaß. Das Gameplay ist strategisch und fordert einen immer wieder, ohne unfair zu sein. Die Grafik ist für ein Mobile-RTS wirklich sehr gut und die Missionen bleiben abwechslungsreich.
Besonders positiv finde ich, dass es nur wenig Werbung gibt und man das Spiel auch ohne ständigen Kaufdruck genießen kann. Technische Probleme oder Bugs hatte ich bisher keine.
Wer ein gutes Strategie-Spiel für das Handy sucht, sollte es definitiv ausprobieren. Klare Empfehlung.
