I haven't played any auto battlers, so I can only say that with very minimal rules that this did kinda capture some of the feel of an RTS. i would hvae liked to understand the dynamics between small/medium/giant troops. i just spammed the middle size to beat the boss. as long as my first troop defeated that guy's first troop, it would snowball. but the stress bar was fun, if maybe i had to manage my troops too, instead of simply just watching the bar and then clicking a bunch of times before immediately hitting space bar again.
anyway, cool game. i'll remember it.
