Is Executive Assault worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- RTS fans who want direct control of battlefield units rather than strategy-only command
- Multiplayer groups who want coordinated base management instead of separate solo campaigns
- Players who enjoy technology research and unit customization rather than fixed armies
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a focused strategy game without switching into first-person combat
- Players who prefer short, simple encounters over base construction, research, unit control, and facility defense
- Players seeking a game centered only on infantry combat rather than mixed robots, vehicles, aircraft, and base operations
Our take on Executive Assault
The bounce point arrives when players must manage a base and army while also handling direct combat. Anyone seeking a single viewpoint may hit a wall when switching between RTS command, unit customization, and first-person fights inside facilities.
What is Executive Assault?
Executive Assault combines real-time strategy with first-person combat.
Players build base complexes, factories, defenses, and research facilities, then produce robotic troops and direct attacks across maps containing resources and meteorite impacts. Armies include robots, tanks, walkers, artillery, missiles, aircraft, and hover cruisers. Players can directly control units and enter constructed buildings to defend facilities or sabotage enemy power stations. Doors, turrets, alarms, and forcefields can be operated during base defense. Units can be customized for different threats, and the technology tree contains over 140 technologies. Multiplayer includes competitive play, while co-op lets one player manage a base in RTS mode and other players control robots in first-person mode.
