Though the title went straight into Early Access and private beta testing as soon as it was announced, players were typically given access to help the team balance the units and provide feedback on its internal systems - like the Dynamic Front Line and its emphasis on finding a balance between arcade and classic RTS gameplay. With the finalised release now in place, said players can finally burn through the game's campaign missions where each of the three playable armies constitute a higher difficulty spike due to their realistic situations along the featured timeline.
