  1. If the user interface and manuals were more thought-out, had a multiplayer option, and better unit pathfinding skills, it could have been a solid game.
  2. It's a pity this game wasn't given more time to come together. [May 2005, p.60]
  3. Suffers from technical problems which will only serve to frustrate meticulous RTS fans.
  4. There are so many problems with Will of Steel that it's hard to know where to begin in terms of describing them, but trust us when we say to spare yourself the frustration and avoid this decidedly lackluster game.
