It is a horrible, unbalanced mess of a game, which is just sad because it could've been really fun and great.

Your units literally do not listen to your commands like 60% of the time, I keep telling my sniper to stay in one fucking spot and he keeps moving somewhere and getting obliterated, controlling units in this game, in general, is just a pain in the ass and should've been made easier/simpler. I also noticed that if you pause the game you cannot move your screen, the only way you can do it is by moving the square on the map, just another nuisance on top of it all.

The AI of your units is also very 'tarded, their target priorities are all over the place, I've witnessed my units either start spazzing out (turning left and right non-stop and then getting killed, which albeit sometimes happened to enemies as well but not as often) or they just rush into attacking enemies to begin shooting some fucking crates or buildings, which obviously got them all killed almost instantly, holy. It also seems like enemies just simply spawn units on a timer, completely regardless of how many buildings & such they've captured, which is also bs.

By the time you get to the point where allies have mechs the game's balance absolutely shits itself because these mechs literally just obliterate anything that isn't a sniper (at a distance), uber-soldat (definitely not on 1v1, you need at least 2 of them vs 1 mech), Helga, or just a very massive swarm of units, majority of whom will be killed/brought down to very low health after the encounter.

It is also literally impossible to finish the Raseborg mission without any support on hard because it fucking spams you with enemy minigun/rocket units like every 8 seconds, which is impossible for you to do on your side because it takes your units ages to spawn and you DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH CASH.
All the enemies either have double the damage and/or double the health of any of those exact units that you can spawn. Then it just fucking spawns 2 Rambo 'tards who HAVE 2080 health and completely obliterate any units you send, lmao. And even if you manage to get through that shit by just spamming uber soldiers & helga then it just non-stop spams allied mechs who are practically the same as those rambos, then it spawns those commando twins, AND THEN IT SPAWNS 3 RAMBOS. Lol wtf. Even when attempting to do this with support it's barely doable.

Did you ever even playtest this shit without premium or not?
What a waste of a good game. I assume the second (allied) episode is just the exact same shit, so no thanks, not wasting my time on this any further.

No wonder it didn't get anywhere unlike infectonator.

Game is available on Kongregate.com as well as the other title Necronator 2.

I never thought about it but this game has actually great concept. I hope one day creators of Infectonator will make sequel of this game because I think it's really worth it. I really like style of Infectonator mixed with WWI/II characteristic.

This will lead to another flash game website called Y8.com. It will prompt you to download a plugin so that you can play it in a different application, much similar to Newgrounds' plugin.
