Good Continuation

I really had my fun with Sunrider 4 but I'm not the biggest fan of the new fight mechanics. They work well but I often feel like it's a bit hard to control the units. They story is good though. Also the game is lacking some decisions as the story is more linear. But overall it has been a fun 20 hours.

Tedious by design

I've got about three quarters of the way through sunrider 4 and I'm done. I enjoyed the other games in the sunrider series, but this one is garbage in comparison. I could rant for paragraphs about how bad this game is, but I've wasted too much time on it already.
