The game itself for what it offers is amazing. Strategic run and gun gameplay with a nice loop. At the moment the game 1.0 version got a lot of bugs, mostly visual for me when I noticed them. I know they updated the game on other platforms. Seems they forgot this one?
Nice pixel art, nice animations, the gameplay seems solid. But you quickly see that it is too repetitive, the roguelike elements are minimal. You have to love tactics or you will get bored with this game.
PROS
+ Memorable sound design
+ Memorable cast of characters from all across the franchise
+ Addictive blend of turn-based tactics and arcade run & gun gameplay
+ Gorgeous pixel art expertly pastiching Nazca Corporation's iconic spritework
CONS
- No infinite turn resets, even on Easy
- Occasional orientalism (e.g. Arab and indigenous-coded enemies)
