Awww man, seeing the cute happy crab dancing on screen followed with “by far the worst unit in the game” was the biggest emotional swing I’ve had in a while.
I'm thinking of some strat with the mortar and other long range units where you use the crabs as a shield to try and stop units from getting close to your artillery. Might work but will have to try it if I get play the closed beta?
Already can tell they're trying to do something very different from Starcraft. Taking a bigger risk than the other RTS coming out. We'll see if that pays off, but I'm definitely excited for this now!
To be honest, from the new RTS that are being developed I like the ideas from Batlle aces the most. Really a fresh take. And I like that not having factions but configuring your faction by selecting the units solves one of the big issues in Starcraft: balance whinning. When you can create your own configuration mixing all the units there is no reason to complain about balance, but also you don't have the boring mirror matches all the time. I hope the make most units competitive so you could see a lot of variety in unit compositions. Really a neat solution to a key problem in previous RTS. Love it.
Honestly I would love to have factions in this game too, but make it configurate within the factions. Lets say the add faction 2 and faction 3, but you can choose the strat and units you want within the faction. It would make the viewing experience better for esports, when there is some asymmetry in the game.
@@Nuurix Id agree with this take, but make factions purely cosmetic so you can style your bots but they still have the general silhouette. Maybe you could introduce factions that give passive buffs to certain bots and maybe a selection of commanders actions on the top, but thats a big maybe Edit: I realised the name of the game is referring to the literal commanders that are in those base pods. So most likely they're already thinking about factions in terms of Commanders like in SC2
weird thing to say that not having races is somehow good. The reason starcraft existed in the first place and was so popular was *because* all the games before it roughly had the same units on each side. Like tank x would have more damage but tank y would be cheaper, that's the whole balance. No having factions makes the game that more flat, but really it depends on the total amount of units we'll end up. Also, same goes for the map. Are you going to say having one map is good because it's always balanced? This is one of the things tastosis were always dunking on moba's for.
@@trezenx Would the inclusion of races improve a game like Chess? Why wouldnt it? It would be less stale in your opinion correct? And why dont they have different maps? Surely playing the same board is boring?
I just love the unit design, they're so cute and unique at the same time, and the animations for each one of them in so intense.And the names are simple and to the point.
I think this is the most innovative and likely to succeed of the new rts. Stormgate has ability bloat where everything is a mini moba hero but this could be too simple. It really comes down to how meaningful the decisions between decks and the decisions in the game between expanding attacking teching etc need to be very pronounced
There is some good ideas for sure. I do hope they can add some support/casters bots, not do more damage, but to give strategy advantages other then just numbers. A great video.
Maybe eventually they will have those, but it definitely looks like Uncapped team is going for a more simplistic approach. Maybe they grouped spellcasting into what they consider one of the more tedious/frustrating and less fun tasks of traditional RTSs and simply done away with it. Spellcasting is not noob friendly and probably wouldn't translate well to grabbing a broad audience, at least until the game and community has had some time to mature. You might consider stuff like Blink or Recall to be the extent of what they would allow as far as "spellcasting" goes. I can picture a lot of units having a single ability that's on cooldown, instead of a whole arsenal of spells. The game looks super fast paced and you might find it's suboptimal to be worrying about how to micro a single type of unit while everything else is going on.
I think they could possibly add them in as tier 3s since new players might not even make it too that point. It probably be one ability however such as a grapple hook for a melee unit and a storm equivalent for another weaker unit. Might not use energy though and just use cool downs.
I think they have 50 planned for release, so I think we’ve only seen so far just over half. I’m guessing the next 20 are ones you’ll be able to purchase or earn through grinding
I really hope this has more depth than seen at surface level. I like the other ideas so far but I think I am really going to miss base building and building placement.
I may be the minority, but I like this game. I don't think that some current negativity is a problem. For example, in the fighting game community, Street Fighter 6 was released last year with new "modern" controls, which is easier to play than traditional classic controls. Some traditional elite players still dislike the easy modern controls, but it is one of the main reasons why the game reached much bigger audience. Similarly, Battle Aces may not satisfy some hardcore RTS fans because it looks easy to control, but it's fine as long as more new players try it out.
If a game takes away bariers and layers between what a player wants his units to do and the units doingit. Thats good for me. I really like Starcraft Broodwar. Better than SC2 or WC3. Maybe its nostalgia idk. My hand eye coordination sucks with the mouse and keyboard. My apm is low. For example executing mass drops many overlords do not drop their load because you have to designate a seperate spot for every overlord or they pile up in one spot too much and the landingspot is full and hydras stay in the overlord. My apm is about 60 80 all effective as I dont spambuttons. So in many situations my mind is much quicker than my slow hands. Quality of life improvements in u.i. are welcome. I understand some m8ght worry about a lesser skillcurve at the top end. Apm should go to decisions, micro, tactics, scouting, moving. Not senseless bussy work.
Obviously, they're going to tweak stats for years to come. So units that are bad because they're "too weak" or "don't do enough damage" will be balanced. The nice aspect is the different units have different behaviours and changing behaviour is far harder to do. They just need to get the behaviours right and balance will solve itself over time.
I love the concept their going for around both the rock/paper/scissors aspect of the bots, but also throwing in the most interesting mechanics from SC2 like blink, recall, sieging etc. I wonder if we will see any Viking style transformer bots
I want to see how they balance this without the game devolving into a pre-match rock paper scissors based on unit choices, or just everyone playing the same meta build.
Dude, I love the Katbus. It's so adorable. Also, while I REALLY dig mortars, not sure how they'll fair in this very fast paced game. And to have no unsieged attack is kinda surprising. NO attack unless they're in siege mode. That's wild. I'm still gonna try to make'em work if I decide to play this game.
- If the crab is the equivalent of the Zealot, they'll have to make it work. - Not being able to choose where your 3rd expo is sounds like a big limitation - is there some high-ground advantage? so far the map(s) look(s) flat - no spell casters (yet)?
Saw the matches today. It looks like a death blob fest. Almost no unit has some special ability, and all core units seem to have the same range. It makes all units act the same and clump into unmicroable blobs. Even sc1 after all these years and clunky pathfinding feels better than this
I'll be open minded about this but David Kim is definitely a yellow flag. He gets married to certain concepts, some of which are really good ideas but others are at best controversial and at worst game breaking. Hopefully this will be a fun cross between a moba and RTS
The name by itself is enough to kill the game, I really hope they have time to change it. Battle Aces is such a bad name for an RTS demographic that I'm assuming is older generations. It's like Rocket league but 10x worse.
Awww man, seeing the cute happy crab dancing on screen followed with “by far the worst unit in the game” was the biggest emotional swing I’ve had in a while.
Ikr I hope they buff the lil fella 😕
CRAB PEOPLE CRAB PEOPLE LOW TIER HEROES WE LOVE THE CRAB WE SUPPORT THE CRAB WE PLAY CRAB 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
The graphics and designs on these units are really nice. Whoever is doing art design really did a good job IMO.
the artwork is amazingly adorable, with so much personality. those are the next gen Tachikomas
We're going to make the crabs work. 🦀
crab hornet feels like it could be ok... maybe.
🦀 Reject Blink, return to Crab 🦀

Yeah, I like it. Think outside the box. We know what potential Starcraft has; let's see what potential this very different take on RTS has.

And I like that not having factions but configuring your faction by selecting the units solves one of the big issues in Starcraft: balance whinning.

People will still complain about balance, that's a certainty.

I'm pretty excited for Battle Aces because it's so different.
The game looks really interesting. I love the versatility with the unit selecting.
Lmao, Katbus also has the best design too =D
seams like it needs spellcasters
Maybe eventually they will have those, but it definitely looks like Uncapped team is going for a more simplistic approach.

I think this game is going to be a hit. Looks good and feeds into what is popular right now. I'm looking forward to trying it
Looks good, but unit readability is questionable.
so cool that we can already see basically all of the units, cant wait to try this game!
I think they have 50 planned for release, so I think we’ve only seen so far just over half. I’m guessing the next 20 are ones you’ll be able to purchase or earn through grinding
I really hope this has more depth than seen at surface level. I like the other ideas so far but I think I am really going to miss base building and building placement.
I think this game is designed to attract the MOBA crowd.
The SC crowd will probably stay with SC and add some ST/ZS maybe.
If you wanna play a traditional rts then go play a traditional rts lol

Yeah, this game is Tooth and Tail meets PA Titans. Which is awesome.
Christ save us from the porn bots.
This is a porn channel
All the Mario erotica did this
Love the base, hope down the line they add some complexity like more casting abilities in higher tiers, and maybe upgrades in some form
Of all the newly announced RTS games, this one appeals to me the most.
Obviously, they're going to tweak stats for years to come. So units that are bad because they're "too weak" or "don't do enough damage" will be balanced. The nice aspect is the different units have different behaviours and changing behaviour is far harder to do. They just need to get the behaviours right and balance will solve itself over time.
I saw the kraken in a showcase where is that unit?
Published by Tencent, I'm staying the hell away
Where's the Kraken? Is it not a unit?
I think BA might be the best of the new gen RTS games
The unit is called blink and it can literally blink just like the sc2 stalkers xd 😂
This game is what people accuse Stormgate of looking like
I will win with the crabs or lose with the crabs.
Whats up with these bots lol
This game looks pretty fun. And the units are cool
where are the snipers showcased in the demo game?
Crab 🦀🦀🦀
I love the concept their going for around both the rock/paper/scissors aspect of the bots, but also throwing in the most interesting mechanics from SC2 like blink, recall, sieging etc. I wonder if we will see any Viking style transformer bots

All of these new RTS does not hold up to SC or C&c nor AoE. It's as if they applied mobile game design to PC...
CROURB?
nice will check this out
This looks good
Crab counters Bomber 🦀💣
- If the crab is the equivalent of the Zealot, they'll have to make it work.
- Not being able to choose where your 3rd expo is sounds like a big limitation

It's not even released yet, everyone who's played this game is a total noob. It's worth trying at the very least.
I'll be open minded about this but David Kim is definitely a yellow flag. He gets married to certain concepts, some of which are really good ideas but others are at best controversial and at worst game breaking. Hopefully this will be a fun cross between a moba and RTS
Has Arty talked about David Kim's new rts?
This is it
Battle Asses
The name by itself is enough to kill the game, I really hope they have time to change it. Battle Aces is such a bad name for an RTS demographic that I'm assuming is older generations. It's like Rocket league but 10x worse.
So if Serral ever played this he'd definitely have wasp/hornet/bomber in his deck
By the way, what happened to Storm Gate? Was it bad? Dead on arrival kind of situation?
Hoping to see more microable units down the line
Is this in unreal?
purRRR
Seems like a big deal that the dragonfly can attack while moving
art style looks identical to stormgate
Does it run on Linux?
Steam only, so maybe through Proton.
How does David Kim makes the mistake of making a Baneling in another game after having made Starcraft 2. Baffling.
Battle Aces is a terrible name imo
better than "frost giant" and "storm gate"
no it's not, battle aces sounds like a cheap £5 playstation network game that you get for free and never download.
What the hell is up with these disgusting bots?
this is an ad right? if it's an ad I'm not really interested, if its not an ad I would go get it right away.
It looks like an ad to me.
It's not an ad
Its the new David Kim RTS bruh
I hope this is a paid promotion because this game looks awful
This game looks pretty garbage unfortunately
this phone game looks identical to the other phone games artosis has been shilling on his channel recently
every unit looks the same haha
