A Promising Title

Played this on another platform. This is a turn based tactical squad like XCOM: Chimera Squad (CS), not XCOM 2. The turn base take the form of initiative, but unlike CS, their initiative mechanic actually works and fun. The aesthetic is really well done despite the budget, and the OST really bangs. I won't bore you with too much technical details, in short, the combat is great, the settings and feel are also great. If you are itching for more turn based squad, give this a try. Warning: it's bloody hard. That said, here is where the major problem lies: "IT'S LOW BUDGET" I recommend it, but I DON'T RECOMMEND PAYING FULL PRICE for this. Below 20 it's a good deal. While the gameplay is good, it's very bare bones in content. Everything is just combat with very few maps variety and no map interactivity, everything is very little in variety. There is 5 chapter in total with multiple days in between and each chapter ending in a boss. Everyday you do s few mission, and each mission is the same with very little variety. Survival, Rescue, Slaughter, Ritual, everything feels almost the same, just kill whatever you see, period. And the roguelite feature certainly doesn't help. When the game is so difficult, every bug that causes damage can be catastrophic. I understand the number of developers working on this is very few, but so do Hades, and Hades provide much more content for a cheaper price. Even accounting budget, they could have placed more storylines when the story bits is presented in slide format. It's cheap to do slide format, but it's still minimal story bits. There is certainly potential in this title, but they need to provide more content for the asking price.
