Anyone tried out Reconquest on Steam - http://store.steampowered.com/app/530040/

PROS
- Voiced units. Generic but nice to have some nice, clean unit feedback.
- Nice artwork. The missiles, bullets and explosions are a nice display.
- Support power - the radar facility has a radar scan, later on airstrike, reinforcements
- Harvesting mechanic and refining - fight over resources
- Has rally points, easy to play if you have played any cnc game
CONS
- The story presentation - comes across as cheap, would probably have worked better as officer telling commander his or her mission orders directly with voiceover, something like the ace combat games.
- Seems you can't scroll on the top right
- Infantry very weak to all types of weapons including cannon fire
- Turret defense seems very strong, encourages turtling as can't heal units
BUG?
- In skirmish you don't have full tech tree unlocked on first map?
SUGGESTIONS
- Add repair / sell to UI by default
- Add healer unit or structure
- Encourage player to keep units alive with a promotion system
OVERALL
As a small indie game, I am enjoying the gameplay, a fun diversion but needs more polish. Looking forward to updates.

Definitely plays like an old school RTS, harvest, build and conquest. Pretty decent challenge, not too much micro management hell.
Yes it could be polished a lot but for price its a nice rough gem.
