Pros: - Building drones is fun. - Logic gates are fun. Cons: - The missions are repetitive. - The enemies are repetitive. - The maps are repetitive. - The grind is boring. Overall: I give this game about 7 out of 10. Note: It has so much unused potential. A proper storyline and less grind can push the score to 9/10.
