Competent writing, snappy voice acting delivery, a lot of dark humor, and a bit of mystery behind who sends you the texts for each ending. Intriguing! It's just disappointing that the other games of this series aren't here on GOG.
This game deserves your time and attention! The other reviews clearly outline the experience offered by the game itself. I'll only add that the graphics are very good for an RTS, and easily run on a modern (less expensive) computer. But the real reason I'm writing this review is to introduce you to the magic of Co-op play in the game. Since you start your missions with limited men, it may seem unusual that in most cases playing the campaign Co-op affords you few if any additional men. Where the game shines in this mode are the little buttons that light up in the upper right hand corner of the screen. You can give control of your boys over to your co-commander. This had served us well on one of our missions: our tanks needed some preparation before they were battle-ready. We had one soldier on a road which was going to be visited by enemy scouts in jeeps. I foisted my half of a tank crew onto my partner and got the soldier in return. He took care of the tank prep, and I successfully intercepted the jeeps. Then, my partner in war finished outfitting the tanks and gave me control of one! We laid an ambush for the oncoming hostile armor column that obliterated them. This mission had been planned out by both of us in advance, and we delegated ourselves to different tasks to better support each other. This game offers a rare Co-Op experience in addition to its other rare qualities. I urge you to to put the adage "Two Heads Are Better Than One" to practice!
