I agree. I like cartoon like graphic style. Associates me "The worst game ever" a little bit. But it is RTS, additionally.

Great. Now I'm gonna have a mutated version of Master of Puppets stuck in my head for the rest of the afternoon...
Thanks! Sorry to get the tune stuck in your head... but we understand, it's been in our head for days now too. We're very proud of the artwork, the hand-drawn backgrounds are different for each of the 22 cities/levels, so for example, if you're playing in the Honolulu level, you'll see surfboards, hula dancers, etc. The graphic in the original post is of Seattle at night (there's also a day version). Also, just wanted to point out the gesture-based magic system, since it's not that obvious from the video. Right at the 0:50 mark of the youtube video, you can see a green line traced on the screen (it's more visible when actually playing the game). That's input from a finger, which the game recognizes.
Wow actually looks...unique! Especially the art style (as others have mentioned). Cant wait till its out!
Thanks! Here are a few more screen shots for you guys to check out. Each army has distinct units, characteristics, and are named after real operas. Here are 2 of the original 4 you'll get to choose from (there's a 5th opera to unlock!). Also notice that each one has optimal weather conditions outlined in the descriptions. Here are some actual game-play shots. The first I like to call "Running with the Bulls" and you can see the stage navigation bar at the bottom. The other shows the building UI, unit creation que across the bottom, and the awesome death animation (that archer being pulled off screen by his strings)! Enjoy!
