Everything I've seen about AotS has been disappointing so far. I was hoping for something like Supreme Commander, but it seems to be going a different subjectively worse direction. It doesn't even have strategic icons.

The performance seems really bad too. Even with barely anything happen it has far below 60FPS on really high-end hardware and the graphics aren't [I]that[/I] impressive.

Another problem I see is that unit silhouettes are really really bad. Seems to be really problematic to discern different unit types at a glance even from afar. Something supcom actually does really well

Well it is an early access title

Despite saying that old scarecrow "But its Alpha"

It is and you probably shouldn't buy it yet
