There's a pause option if that helps!

I've been into RTS games since 99 but I have always had hard time reacting fast enough for most (looking at you brood war) which made online play pretty much a pass for me, however this game is pretty laid back if you set it up right.

Fun trivia: I put in the ability to pause and still issue orders because my dad talked about it one day. :)

I would say that Infested Planet can get pretty intense at times. There are a lot of things happening on the screen. It doesn't need a ton of micro to win, though.

Boomers, am I right?

Joking of course but I can't deny some strategy games rely on reflexes a lot more than actual strategy and it's really irritating... Your game strikes a good balance between strategic planning and all out frantic chaos though!

Thank you, for you reaction, it is a bit hard to find a strategic game that isnt to micro or recquire fast reaction, or is to easy for my father.

You can always try it out and then refund it if it's overwhelming.

I know that 2h isn't a ton of time, but hopefully it allows you to check out the controls and whether they're a good fit.

I'm 48, with pretty bad reflexes, and have a great time playing the game. I finished the story mission and frequently do the weekly. I have played the game for over 100 hours and still find it very fun.
