"The game appears to be equal parts Waterworld and Command & Conquer, with a nice helping of Battleship and tower defense thrown into the mix for good measure."
"...this is an exceptionally pretty strategy game."
"It doesn’t try to be a traditional RTS like so many others, and with a unique water-based concept, unlocks a variety of opportunities for inventive and original units, technologies and missions. The graphics are, as you would expect, quite literally amazing."
"Once you get into the mode of play that Oil Rush expects from you, it's one of the freshest takes on the strategy genre in a while." (80%)
"I've been playing Oil Rush for a little more than week now and it's been doing a great job of making me feel like I'm playing a new version of an old school RTS, complete with cheesy dialogue, exciting visuals, challenging gameplay, vast tech trees and massive armies. This game has plenty to offer seasoned RTS gamers, but it does not exclude less experienced gamers." (90%)
"Oil Rush" is a real-time naval strategy game that combines the strategic challenge of a classic RTS with the sheer fun of Tower Defense, and features state-of-the-art visuals.
