Pros:

• Nice graphics.

• Graphics-resolution, quality presets, fullscreen, v-sync, hardware mouse, particle/geometry/environment/texture detail slider, Bloom, heat distortion, dynamic lod, ao, fog of war and volumetric sand.
• Rebind keys.
• Enbiggen cursor.
• 3 modes- solo, co-op, and challenges.
• Pause-can still plans, execute and manage your army.
• RTS horde mode gameplay.
• Solo-two difficulties easy and moderate, pick from the four heroes and a level.
• Challenge mode-share played levels to compare scores and levels randomize resources and placements.
• Online Leaderboards.
• Co-op mode-host/join, settings like map density, resources, creeps, wave count, difficulty and score modifiers. Each player has their own build queues and timers.
• Feat progress-basically an easy to read achievements tracker.
• Comic-unlock issues as you play.
• Steam trading cards.
• Full RTS arsenal of shortcuts like micro and macro management, overwatch, patrols, groups, etc.
• Earn/find resource chests in the world.
• Easy to read Ui with tooltip pop-ups.

Cons:

• Really long initial load.
• Weird resolution bug where you have to tinker with windowed and fullscreen options in order to change your resolution.
• Long loading times.
• Bad Ai pathfinding and instances of the Ai not attacking the enemy even when next to them.
• No proper tutorial just occasional pop ups.
• Small text.
• No proper story.
• Maps feel the same.
• Not many enemy types.
• Fire is way too powerful.
• Little help/guidance.
• First few levels are very slow and really does a bad job at pacing and teaching you.
