I think it's neat in that it's a simulation game but with its paced amped up to 11. However, the game is also not one to encourage experimentation since you're going to be doing the same upgrade rotations every map and the distinctions will just be the obstacles in how you get that win condition. Perhaps there's value in cockblocking from the obvious win conditions, but I just don't find the way the game pushes its form of optimization on you to be particularly enticing.
