Oppressively dark example of the genre
Pros: - Don't let the dated graphics fool you. This game has an oppressively dark atmosphere about it. This is honestly one of the most atmospheric games of its kind for its time. - Accessible, yet still challenging gameplay design. Positioning, facing, and energy management is key for both offense and defense. - A good variety of weapon types, a decent number of which open up alternative design avenues beyond the supposed initial purpose of a chassis. - Above average enemy AI. Leave a gap open in your shields, and the AI WILL take advantage of it if it has the movement to do so. Cons - Gets repetitive after a while, as the mission generator is only really able to create a few variants for each mission type. (Though the terrain variety of the different planets goes a long way to mitigating this con to a minor one.) - Low number of actual chassis types to play with. Especially with how many of them become blatantly obsolete as you progress in the campaign.
