Battle Aces - the Units So Far

Awww man, seeing the cute happy crab dancing on screen followed with “by far the worst unit in the game” was the biggest emotional swing I’ve had in a while.

The graphics and designs on these units are really nice. Whoever is doing art design really did a good job IMO.

We're going to make the crabs work. 🦀

To be honest, from the new RTS that are being developed I like the ideas from Batlle aces the most. Really a fresh take. And I like that not having factions but configuring your faction by selecting the units solves one of the big issues in Starcraft: balance whinning. When you can create your own configuration mixing all the units there is no reason to complain about balance, but also you don't have the boring mirror matches all the time. I hope the make most units competitive so you could see a lot of variety in unit compositions. Really a neat solution to a key problem in previous RTS. Love it.

Already can tell they're trying to do something very different from Starcraft. Taking a bigger risk than the other RTS coming out. We'll see if that pays off, but I'm definitely excited for this now!

the artwork is amazingly adorable, with so much personality. those are the next gen Tachikomas

seams like it needs spellcasters

There is some good ideas for sure. I do hope they can add some support/casters bots, not do more damage, but to give strategy advantages other then just numbers. A great video.

I think this is the most innovative and likely to succeed of the new rts. Stormgate has ability bloat where everything is a mini moba hero but this could be too simple. It really comes down to how meaningful the decisions between decks and the decisions in the game between expanding attacking teching etc need to be very pronounced

The game looks really interesting. I love the versatility with the unit selecting.

so cool that we can already see basically all of the units, cant wait to try this game!

I really hope this has more depth than seen at surface level. I like the other ideas so far but I think I am really going to miss base building and building placement.

Lmao, Katbus also has the best design too =D

I'm pretty excited for Battle Aces because it's so different.

Yeah, this game is Tooth and Tail meets PA Titans. Which is awesome.

Christ save us from the porn bots.

I may be the minority, but I like this game. I don't think that some current negativity is a problem. For example, in the fighting game community, Street Fighter 6 was released last year with new "modern" controls, which is easier to play than traditional classic controls. Some traditional elite players still dislike the easy modern controls, but it is one of the main reasons why the game reached much bigger audience. Similarly, Battle Aces may not satisfy some hardcore RTS fans because it looks easy to control, but it's fine as long as more new players try it out.

I think this game is going to be a hit. Looks good and feeds into what is popular right now. I'm looking forward to trying it

Looks good, but unit readability is questionable.
