2people complaining it's too hard - maybe you just suck at it? I'm in the middle of the alien campaign and game is great - not too hard, but very challenging.
Won for engineer - game is difficult at first, but after you got the point is a click-fest on normal difficulty too. Just remember one-two most dangerous opponent skills and counter them in time. Last boss was hard before i remember that i forgot wear the crown.

Game on high levels become easier if you choose your lucky high-level letter (mine is 'W') and farm level 1 until your boiler is filled with this letter.
I don't know English well, so just press AIOUE first, then other letters, guussing when only one or two rest. Still wins without problems on medium difficulty.
