Achievement hunting as central mechanic
Feels like a great game for those who love replaying the same game hundreds of times, learning about the deeper mechanics, trying out different setups, unlocking achievements etc. For anyone who does not enjoy achievement hunting, there are bad news: ingame progression is tied to it. Every achievement you unlock (e.g. knock 5 enemy units into the water in one skirmish) gives you one coin to unlock new squads with. There are 20 squads or so, with different mechs, weapons etc. They cost 2 to 4 coins each to unlock. As most of this currency is locked behind very niche interactions, like burning so or so many enemy units with this or that specific squad, the game not only forces you to play it in a specific way, but also with specific squads. If you are not interested in achievement hunting, you may find this mechanic very limiting. The game itself feels like it plays second fiddle to the coin grinding and unlocking new squads. I'm sure people who enjoy unlocking stuff will like this but for those who are not as excited about playing a building defender game again and again, it won't be as appreciated. I don't know how much time they put on the various squads, mechs etc but it felt like if they had been satisfied with 10 mechs instead of 27 and instead added a story, more diversity in the scenarios etc, they would have succeeded with making an actually good game for those who just want to play a good tactics game through once or twice. You could play this through in a few hours first time you pick it up. If at least the game had some sense of progression, e.g. that you to replay parts of it, gradually becoming more powerful, i guess it would be ok, but characters reach max level quickly and when you die you restart without any of the stuff you have collected and can only choose one character to restart with. There is no real progression except for achievements and the number of unlocked squads.
