There's a learning curve for figuring out the best ways to deploy your troops, and you quickly learn the strengths and weaknesses of each troop type as you play. In spite of the limited player base due to the game still being in pre-alpha release status, there's always been players available to play against and the action is always varied, balanced, and challenging. The game is heavy on the strategy, so you're going to need to manage both how you spend your Tiberium on HQ upgrades and troops, along with sending the right troops in to defend or attack. Troops are spawned onto the battlefield by spending Tiberium, an extraterrestrial green crystal that you generate at a standard rate automatically and can be doubled by deploying a Harvester.

It takes two nukes to take down your enemy's base, however, you're also able to deal damage with your troops if you can sneak them past your opponent's defenses. Control the areas for long enough and you'll launch a nuclear strike at your enemy's mobile HQ.

Unlike the previous PC games in the franchise that featured single-player campaigns for both factions, Rivals is a purely PvP gaming experience for mobile.Įach match has you battling on a smaller map where you must fight to control the majority of three contested areas on the map that control the launch of a nuclear missile. C&C Rivals once again pits the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) against the Brotherhood of Nod in a battle to control nuclear launch sites.
