A blast from the past, and I'm saying this while not encountering it previously. The design is from the simpler times of personal mods and it can be seen all throughout the mod - in artwork, voxel designs, soundscape and so on. And at the same time, it has many interesting ideas and tries hard to detach itself completely from the C&C lore and set design decisions. And while it's a bit amateurish looking in some regards, the soul and passion of this mod is clearly felt and undeniable.

Also, I am completely captivated by this mod's lore. The world crafted here also suffered the Scrin invasion, but reacted quite differently and in the end it became really unhuman and uncanny in it's atmosphere - one side so desperate to save the race from another invasion sacrifices almost everything that means to be that race, while the other almost completely looses itself to the survival hardships, madness of vengeance and cruelty of doctrine that also becomes quite inhumane. Top shelf stuff.

The release of the Remastered Collection of original TD and RA made me understand in comparison how I treasure mods like DTA. I never really thought about it, but seeing it in perspective made me appreciate all the work done on this mod.
I'm not a multiplayer kinda guy, and I value this mod not for things like balance or whatnot, but the atmosphere and visual style. And by the Prophet, they've done such a good work faithfully and meticulously recreating the original assets and units. For some time I didn't even realize that all the sprites were new and created specifically for the mod, until I compared them to the original TD and RA. and they are absolutely gorgeous.
So yes, a quite biased and subjective, but totally worth in my eyes 10/10.
