It's missing at least two levels of difficulty below the lowest one for me to recommend this to anyone. There should be a difficulty for becoming accustomed to the mechanics, and an intermediate version on top of that. Instead you cannot complete any missions without a comprehensive understanding of several systems. If they add an 'Easy' and 'Normal' difficulty, with either more HP, less enemy damage, less enemy HP, less enemies, or some combination of these to help you get your bearings, then I'd have no problem switching this to recommended.👍
The game might not be super complex but it has a lot of things going for it. It is different than most tactics games in a good way. While in a lot of games taking cover is essential here it is just a bonus. The most important thing is to keep your units on the move. This grants the units evasion(damage resistance) and also some of the levels require constant movement chasing after target, protecting someone or just because the ground behind you is disappearing. having powerful weapons is good but having well planned synchronized actions is even better cause the units can attack multiple times, have free actions, free movement, gain adrenaline and so on. The over-world map reminds me of Into the Breach - you can select you sector then in the sector you can select different missions and see what are the main and the optional rewards. Very fun game. I am surprised that it took Metal Slug to get a turn based tactics spin-off so the genre can have something fresh and different. If you are feeling fatigued by the standard turn based tactics games and just want something simple and fun that won't take you a month to complete (one run is about 6 hours give or take but you unlock stuff so it is intended to be replayed) then this might be what you are looking for.
It took a while to connect with the game, but once it clicked on the initial character loadout I was able to complete the 4 areas.
The idea of the game is similar to Into the Breach with 4 areas with different enemies. Beyond the four areas and being a roguelite, the games are pretty different.
As others have mentioned, movement is key. You gain abilities by moving long distances, and use character placement so that one attack triggers your partners to attack as well.
It's a lot of fun, and I think the new characters that keep unlocking should be interesting.
