Outstanding
Frozen Synapse is an outstanding little strategy game. It operates on a play by email turn system, which permits a player to take plenty of time to plot their actions. As a result, games can last anywhere from ten minutes to two weeks. It fast won me over as I was able to play as many matches as a wished while entering my moves in my free time throughout the day. The players are also granted almost total freedom of actions, which makes all the difference in a game where even the smallest and most subtle movements can determine if a match is won or lost. However, this does not create a daunting learning curve as the game includes the ability to plot out a turn and simulate the results based upon what you expect your opponent to do. In this way, you can plot out the worst case scenario of your opponents potential moves and witness the results. When, after running simulations and plotting your final actions, you commit to them. After your opponent does likewise, the turns will be executed at the same time, and you evaluate the results. The game also utilizes an exceptionally simple aesthetic. No useless clutter on the maps, and no distractions. The result is neither bland nor boring, but rather a beautiful simplicity that matches the gameplay well. This when coupled with the fantastic soundtrack by Nervous_Testpilot, supplies a wonderful atmosphere for the game. Finally it is important to note that Frozen Synapse has fortunately retained a small devoted group of players. This ensures that matches can still be found online with relative ease. I enjoyed Frozen Synapse immensely, and if you have an affinity for strategy games, then this one is certainly worth your time.
