Totally Accurate Battle Simulator is a ludicrous bananas-on-toast game about google-eyed gladiatorial combat between men, beasts, Gods, and just about anything else too...

1:22: You can, in fact, control the individual units, by zooming down close to the unit you want to possess and pressing F; you'll immediately enter a third-person mode to control them. Then you can even press C to enter first-person mode! While controlling them, you can move around and use their attacks with various keys. Very fun.

I've seen this game played a lot but various people and never once have I seen the fun or enjoyment. "Hurr hurr I send 1,000 chickens against a t-rex, hurr this fun" But then Jon gave it a go and I know I'd get something honest from him.... So the fact that even Jon can only _just_ stretch this video out to 30 mins shows how painfully thin on content and fun this game is.

Considering the fact that neither chickens nor t-rexes are in the game you might be thinking of another battle sim.

@@Sacharias1 Well that almost helps me prove my point, this game is so samey with other "hilarious" battle sims that its shtick is entirely indistinguishable from the rest. (Ultimate Epic Battle Simulator was the trex/chickens battle for the record). You might form your opinions based on other people's opinions but I prefer to form my own, and like I said, this game looks catastrophically dull. Even Jon, the master of eeking out video lengths, could only stretch this out to 30mins and you could tell by the end that his fake enthusiasm for the game was waning. People seem to like goat sim and plague inc too but they are right in this "play for 5 minutes, laugh, discard" genre of basic white bitch entertainment. These games are the sort of throw away trash flash game you'd play for free 10-15 years ago to waste time at work. Now apparently they're worth £10-£15. Fuck that.

@@Sacharias1 congratulations. You must be so proud. I am so overwhelmed with emotion that you've had fun playing this game. That doesn't in any way detract from the fact that this game is boringly similar to other "comedy" battle sims. Nor does it change the fact that this game, on my enjoyment scale, looks painfully thin on content and completely lacking in any entertainment whatsoever. I thought maybe I had missed the point of it. But then you see Jon struggling to make a normal length video, coupled with his clear disinterest in it at the end and I get pretty satisfied that I haven't missed anything. If it tickles your fancy, then great. I couldn't care less. Nothing you say will change my conclusions about this game; it's expensive, joyless, bottom-of-the-barrel trash-comedy and therefore shit and instantly missable.
