Thank you David Kim and co. for trying. Throughout all the years, and controversies there may have been, you have shown you are extremely passionate for RTS and I thank you for the effort.

Battle Aces did a lot right, but I think at the end of the day there was not enough depth. RTS is a niche and when you remove base building you exclude a significant amount of those players. To compensate, you have to draw in outside players, which is where Uncapped fell short. Also, I think their thematic scope was too narrow. I mean mechs are fine but I don't think it should have been all mechs. There is not broad enough appeal for that. I would have loved more fantasy or sci-fi elements.


Remember that we all come from a place of passion!!

As I argued before I don't think the game had any shot at reaching a larger audience without large redesigns. The numbers clearly indicated little interest in the game.

As someone who’ll happily just grind marine split micro maps for a while, for me Battle Aces had a nice niche. I wanna play short games and micro my arse off, it did that pretty well.


Yet vast majority of games I watched last beta round consisted of simple armies a-moving into each other. I think you are right though. If the game truly had awesome microable and skillful interactions it could have worked as a niche game. But imo their vision on unit design was 180 degree off. Trying to make simple units to cater to a larger audience never had a chance of working.

I feel bad for only playing the first beta - I was waiting for it to be fully released to try it out more. I had fun overall but didn't want to sink hours into a beta myself.

I only played the first beta (quite a lot). Aside from the objectively bad balance tweaks that were made occasionally, the game seemed pretty healthy.


Only gripe was that it never felt like a true standalone game. Someone could port the latest version into a sc2 custom map and almost nothing would be lost (other than the streamlined matchmaking, which is kind of necessary for a game like this)


I may appear to be an emotionless sarcastic pos, but just like an onion when you pull off more and more layers you find the exact same thing everytime and you start crying

This surprised me a lot.
I was sure the game would find it's niche and monetizing this did not seem so difficult. They made it way more complicated than it should have been.
I only played about 10-15 games but those were decent fun, albeit I found I rather play SC2 after all is said and done
