Little men with flailing arms charge into each other, and you laugh, and that is exactly the point.

When the community picks on instinct, TABS gets ahead of 30% of games. The detailed profile backs that up, and it is consistent all the way down. Sound is at the very bottom, ahead of 1% of titles. Art direction too, ahead of 7%. The game you would take to a desert island, ahead of 10%. Attachment, ahead of 16%. The one place it lifts its head is the feel of a controller in hand, ahead of 36% of games. On criteria built around emotion, memory and beauty, an absurd brawl simulator simply does not have the weapons. That is not a failure, it is a category mismatch.

Compared to the serious strategy games it parodies, it chases neither tactical depth nor staging. It chases the clip, the physical surprise, the moment everything goes sideways and you call someone over to watch.

So, who is it for? For you if you like cobbling together silly armies and watching physics lose its mind. Much less if you want a game that stays in your head for years, with a soundtrack you go back to.
