Fantastic turn based strategy

It evokes the same feeling of FTL, but is quite a different experience -- and both games are great in their own rights. Just like FTL, you can have a perfect run, and only a short lapse in concentration is enough to bring down the house of cards. But you always feel like YOU could have done something better, and this is what gives this game a "just one more try" quality. Complete with clean graphics, great sound/music, and tight/fun mechanics, this game is an A+. I remember thinking the game was unfairly hard at times. Then when I rethought certain strategies, I found myself going for perfect runs even on Hard mode (which will be challenging). Between turns you will see where your enemies are attacking next. It then falls upon you to find the best way to eliminate them, or sometimes, just control the situation so it doesn't get out of control since you only just need to survive for a certain number of turns. Direct damage is only so effective since often you'll get swarmed. So you'll need to find ways to push enemies to attack each other, block enemies with your own units (leveraging your own health to protect objectives), etc. The mini-scenarios have a lot of variation, so there are effectively an infinite number of scenarios and you'll never replay the same map twice. Also like in FTL there are different mechs, with different abilities, and diffent pilots who have different perks, along with secret characters to unlock. Like I said, this is a great title that I played until I got a perfect run with each squad. However, even after that, you can then build your own custom squads. A must have for any strategy fan.

One of my top 5 games ever!

This game is incredible! It's a turn based strategy game where each play through consists of multiple levels. It's perfect for short breaks to tackle a single level as the game is saved automatically after every turn. It gets addicting once you get the hang of the game. I have over 200 hours of game time! You control giant mech robots and fight different giant bugs on 8x8 grids. The objective is to protect the buildings scattered on the grid and are under constant attack by the bugs. There's so much thinking that goes into every turn as the mechs are often limited in their abilities. Usually they don't deal enough damage to get rid of a bug in a single turn so different tactics have to be applied depending on each situation. Usually position manipulation comes into play here. Your mech may not be able to kill the bug that is threatening a building but, depending on your mech and its weapon, it could push it a single tile making the bug's attack whiff and maybe even hit another bug or block another bug from surfacing. There are over 20 unique mechs to play and even more weapons to equip them with. They form mulitple, preset squads of three, but one can also go with a squad built out of random unlocked mechs or build a custom squad by cherry picking. Grab it and have fun! But be warned that the game is very unforgiving!

Jesse Pinkman's Voice: this is the bomb!

If you enjoy the thrill of a good strategy move you've made in chess, you'll enjoy this game, too. It gives you a handful of interesting and smart mechanics. I'm pretty sure the developers didn't create something new, but they did bring some ideas from different strategy games and melded them into something special. Every time you lose advantage, it is because you didn't plan it ahead, and it's completely fair. The difficulties are well calibrated, yet challenging. You start the game with a squad of three mech suits and soldiers, and you use them to protect the power grid and fight this giant insect race called the Vek. Every suit has their unique advantages and disadvantages, and it's up to you to manage them at the end of every battle. You also get a variety of weapons you can buy, which juggle with all the game's mechanics. There are 4 islands with their different lore, terrains and missions. The let's you take the final battle after 12 missions/2 islands, but you can complete all 4 to make enough reactors to upgrade your suits. Keep in mind that after every completed island, the battles will be more difficult. The missions summarised are: protect this, destroy that, kill this many, get this little damage, don't kill this, retrieve this. Like I said, it's nothing new, but Subset Games made it pretty interesting and relevant to the lore of the world and the islands. Storywise, this game lacks plot, but that's not to say there isn't a vague enough stoy that gives the game some depth. When you finish your first game, it kinda shakes you a bit and gives you some sense of accomplishment, like you were the commander of your soldiers. There's huge replay value, because you can unlock new soldiers and mech squads, with new weapons and tactics, and it makes you want to master them all. The colors and effects are beautiful. The music is epic, and it makes you feel overwhelmed when you lose advantage, or confident when you gain advantage. Just buy it, it's that good!

Great Game

I am waiting for a sale to buy this on GoG but i can review it since I've played a ton of it on the windows store version through Xbox game pass and on the epic games version that was given free in one of their giveaways. I'm just waiting to get it here because i prefer my games on GoG if possible. I thought it was going to be a final fantasy tactics type game a la Fell Seal, but i was wrong. It was similar in it's layout but doesn't play the same. It's more of a puzzle game incorporated into a tactics game. Very fun, you should check it out.

One of the best tactical games out there

With +100 hours on this game (and a lot more I'm going to play), this is a perfect tittle to play one run from time to time. The game shows you a simple grid, which may seems child-like at first glance. But as soon as you start to play (at least in Normal level), you realize you are always outnumbered and outclassed in terms of raw power. However with your skills and crown control is extremately satisfactory to turn the balance to your favour. Especially with Judo mechs, where your job is manipulating the board to turn that enemy raw enemy power against them! It's a 60% tactical game 40% puzzle game, but randomnly generated! It has a good amount of content. Advanced edition (free DLC included) give you even more, but I would advice to disable it if you're a newbie. It also has a small strategy layer, where you customize your mechs and buy improvements for them that synergize with your general strategy. Good graphics, music, humor and controller support. If you like simple but intense turn based games, buy this! You'll love it (this is one of the rare exceptions I rate a game with 5-stars)
