Halfway

The game has good story and is pretty atmospheric owing to level designs and graphic style. But, if developers could add something like comic-style less pixelated cut-scenes between the levels, the game could only benefit from it. However the game becomes very imbalanced in the middle and later parts. Enemies begin to use shields too often and even if you use all the tactics and advantages of locations, most of what you can expect is that you simply will run out of ammo and crew members. The victory in the fight in this case achieves only by crits therefore pure luck, what prolongs the gameplay unjustifiably due to inability of saving during the level or so-called "old-school style". Also there are not many options available: move, shoot, one special ability for each crew member and a simple cover system that works strangely btw. Overall: a good idea, not a good implementation. If you are patient enough, you might enjoy this game.

I must say that I enjoyed the first two hours of Halfway very much. The battle system is like a Xcom Lite, mixed with graphics reminiscent of the good old times (DOS). What I really like in the battle system is the hit accuracy. In Xcom if found it was all very random, here it is very balanced. There are enough positions on the map to tactical maneuvers to perform. The story is negligible, altough the minimal interactions with the NPCs. For the price and the attention to detail I can give this game 5 stars.

Game seems nice, though...

Start very nice, cool characters, good selection of weapons, nice level design, lets hope it continues this way...

Start is superb, just like Albion meets X-Com. Let's look further...
