8-bit Invaders is mid.I rate it a 5.5/10 best music ever but not the best 2 factions.I recommon other games like 8-bit armies is a way better one then this.But I recommon it for the awsome music

It's like if Age Of Empires 2, had pixel (voxel?) graphics... but there's a couple of issues: There's a massive lack of tooltips, like you can't even readily see how much HP / range / attack speed / dmg your units have

I was pretty skeptical about it tbh. It's actually really fun and weird for what it is. This game shows that you don't necessarily need really high graphics to make a fun game.

Good Game. Mission target are better than 8-bits armies. The multiverse conquest is ok. Got annoyed at the computer attacking me every sec with one units...
