Selecting individual units was nigh impossible for me...So essentially, you are the mouse cursor.
See, considering I tend to suck at strategy games and favor action titles, this is a problem I never ran into. If you think of it like any RTS you played on the PC it's going to suck and so are you

I disagree about the story. Again, it started out strong enough, but it just fell flat toward the end. Also, the Eddie/Ophelia thing just felt so forced. Like... Episode 2 Padme/Anakin. I just didn't believe it.
The whole end felt like a cop-out, too. Oh, turns out the Ophelia you were fighting wasn't the real Ophelia. And then you dive down to a random body of water and BAM there she is. And then a cheesy rescue/makeout scene. Oh, and we find out that Eddie's mom is a demon. We spend the entire game learning about your dad, and then "OH btw your mom was a demon and this has no real relevance to anything past this point". It felt like they had a bunch of ideas that could have formed a cohesive story, but they just ended up jamming them in because of time constraints.
And it totally is an RTS! I have to keep moving my rally point and producing units, and directing my units to do stuff. And build merch stands. And upgrade my stage and units. That is managing things! I just want to kill stuff! D:
I actually didn't mind the twist that big bad demon lady was your mom, and it was kind of going to be obvious what with those wings and all. It was supposed to be a big shock ending thing.
Yes, the love between Ophelia and Eddie was rushed, and the betrayal after was rushed further. But you know what? I liked the retardedly happy ending. So nyeh.
First, let me preface by saying: I didn't play the game, but I watched George (skateboard-buying guy) play almost all of this game. Anywho.
You have to be close to a group of people to command them, which means if you're close to the thing you want to destroy, your troops are going to be far away. So you fly to your troops and try to tell them to go destroy something, but then you're too far away from what you wanted to destroy in the first place. It's a bit annoying.(Again, unless I didn't figure out how to do this effectively.)
I'm 99% positive that there's a way to call your dudes to you. I think it involves a flag or maybe a song that you have to play or something.
But yeah, I agree with other-guy-with-hanging-penis-'n'-balls-icon guy, I'm told it's different than any other RTS in how it plays, and that if you try to play it like one, you're not going to do well.
