Will scratch your stealth RTS itch

I am aggressively uninterested in the 70s, no matter the country the story takes part in. But the devs have crafted a fairly interesting game that doesn't have the depth and scale of Commandos and is much more lighthearted, but does its job well. It's a visually consistent, but not impressive game, and the OST will depend on how you feel about disco. Character interactions are serviceable or a game of this kind, and the missions never seem to overstay their welcome, and should clock out at about 20 hours of strategizing, depending on how efficient you are. The scenarios are well crafted out and play fluidly, and even those pesky timed missions never feel like an overly stressful challenge. All in all, not an outstanding game, but it gives you a consistent dose of satisfaction when a well coordinated group move comes together. Still, it almost gets a star deducted off its score simply on account of that obnoxious launcher, an annoyance you can only truly get rid of via firewall. Almost. But it would have been too unfair to an otherwise carefully crafted experience.

GREAT and seriously underrated

I am not a huge strategy game player. However, this game offer of stealth and time management strategy was a great forray into this realm of gamelplay for me. Simple concept of managing people and time yet great fun. As for replayability I think its there in the since of you want to try to beat your own time if possible. I havent played the challenge mode yet so there is more fun waiting to be had. Yet I have logged 77 hours. Note: I bought this game on steam when it first released. But just played it this year, while looking for something different to enjoy. Great job Skilltree.

RTS in the 70's. Love it.

First, the apparent elephant in the room... I don't know what system captaincofresi or planefreak1001 are playing on, but I was not prompted to download or install a "Kalypso Launcher." I'm playing on Windows 7 and the game installed and plays just fine, and I have no internet connection at my house. A quick download from GOG on my phone, a file transfer, and the startup file did it's magic... I can play it on my interne-less computer... So it obviously IS DRM Free, or I would not be able to play it... But again, that's on Windows 7 at least. Now, for the actual game... I like to judge a game based on it's description page. If it doesn't match, then it looses stars... If it matches, then there's no reason for me to take any away, right? Well, from what I've played (and I'm about half way through at this point) the game matches it's description. So, 5 stars! Now, specifics... Here goes: Music and atmosphere- 100% stereotypical 70's music and decor about in this game. The atmosphere was nailed spot on. I feel like I'm leading a team of bandits through heists that took place in that time-period, so well done Dev's! Mechanics- I was thinking this would be more like a turn based strategy game, as many of this genre are, but this is actually RTS. More like Shadow Tactics than Hard West. However, it works and I really appreciate this approach. It makes your decisions that much more important. Don't walk into your enemies line of sight, which is constantly shifting, and try not to set off any alarms, or the guards come running. Also, each character has his or her own specialties. Good variety. Characters- Are they a little shallow? Probably. But the game doesn't try to make some deep statement with an epic story... It tries to stick to it's theme, and it does so greatly. You're a team of bandits trying to pull off jobs. There is some story, but I won't spoil it. It's fun. For a $10 game it delivers so much for the money. Nothing to complain about here!

Work of Art

The game has a high production value. You can tell that the developers and other members of the team put their heart and thoughts into this game. It is unfortunate that the game did not sell well. This game is truly a work of art and I would encourage those interested in stealth and real-time strategy genres to give this game a try.

Would not let me skip the DRM launcher

Very disappointed in GOG. I didn't want to believe the reviews that said there was a DRM launcher -- and for me the "SKIP" button was greyed out. Not installing the Launcher, which had already downloaded product commercials, was not an option. Having an exit button that can't be used . . . gee, that's just deceitful, right? So, $3.30 (including state tax) isn't anything I'm concerned about -- but I asked for my money back out of principle.
