the training mission has you sending tanks to fight neon-green terrorists who are harboring some kind of blue goop without cracking a single joke about it. So I think there is some emphasis on the absurd.
30 fps is kind of a bummer (jagged scrolling) but it seems like a good strategy game for building a bunch of stuff and watching explosions
