Beyond All Reason is a real-time strategy game in which you build economy and army at the same time. You manage resources, defenses and units on big cards. Cooperation and division of labour play a major role in team parties.

The game is constantly updated as an alpha. The launcher retrieves parts and updates; there is not one fixed numbered total package that describes all changes. Take into account changed balance sheet and a significant learning curve, especially in large online parties.

Our verdict

Beyond All Reason is especially suitable if you are looking for depth in real-time strategy. You must not only serve units, but also build an economy that can carry your plans. In a team context, this coherence becomes even more important because other players count on your choices.

Therefore, take the time to learn the basics before getting into big games. A failed economy feels different than a lost battle, but can be equally decisive. The ongoing development makes the game interesting to follow, although balance and control can change. If you are looking for short, simple rounds, then a more accessible strategy game probably fits better.
