A sloid Flash style top down shooter, but it doesn't offer anything besides a grind and a survival mode. Seek the other 10 ton tiles first.
If you like sci-fi robots and some explorations about robot interactions without humans this is a pretty good story line. There is some lite puzzling and open world exploration, but most of the rest of the mechanics are like a squad based consol shooter. Worth playing once, but I would still buy it again.
Smoother command interface than Mount and Blade making RTS more than an awkward set of hot keys, the main campaign map is full of characters and cities which reduce the amount of time that you are going to chase or be chased. The character development and equipment is also much more transparent so you don't get stuck.
This is a great little hold over until WC3 Reforged. Most people will think this game is like CoH, but WC3 with its well defined unit v unit relationships is a better match and focus on using unique unit abilities. In addition, the games go about 20-40 minutes revolve around taking and holding expansions that generate resources.
Top Down Shoot'em up with lost of challenges, weapons, and terrain interactions. Play is smooth with no errors and weird clipping. Only complaint is there are no weapon pick-ups in mission, but with all the weapon options its really minor.
For a squad based game its solid, but make sure to get the expansion which has the random seed generator fix and better character development. Overall Xenonauts, Shadow Run (all three), Fallout Tactics, and the original Xcom have better combat mechanics against a wider range of enemy archetypes. Overall happy that I got it on sale, but I would not have paid full price.
This game is a pretty solid all around game. The economy is interesting without being overly complex, the units are interesting and customizable, and factions distinguishable. The only issues that I have with the game is that naval combat is lacking and that the game really needs mod support on GOG.
Solves problems of the other 4x. - The turns are efficient - the economic controls and research trees are complex enough to need solutions, but do not distract form the maneuver or diplomacy of the game Has some rough edges. - Could do a better job telling you what the requirements for a military unit are. - One non-fatal error that appears once per game.
