Some unintuitive decisions on controls/design.

So much unnecessary padding at the end
Agent Olga?s voice work -- make it stop.
There are more than a few bugs, some painful
Voice repetition everywhere
Can I control my minions just a lil bit?

Base building is fun and spreads across multiple levels
Game difficulty options are quite comprehensive and let you customise multiple factors of gameplay

Very micromanagement-heavy
Zero ability to direct minions to a location or a job, resulting in failure states independent of player action
Base AI is oblivious to intruders unless tagged by the player, making the player feel more like a security camera officer than an evil "genius"
Multiple AI and item failure issues that could be serious bugs or very bad design decisions, but hard to tell the difference
