Turn Based Tactical Strategy game
I played this game almost exclusively on the Atari ST. Very similar version to the DOS one, with differences mainly in the music and graphics, but not enough to matter. Having said that, this appears to be the CDROM version of the PC version, so it has better overall presentation. The game was never an impressive looking game, but it was better than average for the genre. In terms of gameplay, you have 5 missions to complete with a limited pool of available soldiers and limited number of weapons/accessories you can use for each mission. If a soldier (or more) die, they are not available to pick for the next mission, etc. While this strategy/business theme is not exactly UFO Enemy Unknown or Jagged Alliance, it does provide an extra incentive to WATCH OUT! The GUI while simple, is different than most games had and if one is only accustomed to modern games might find it a bit weird. Not difficult (as long as you read the manual), just weird. So, after you pick your soldiers and their weapons/accessories, you enter the mission, picking where to start each soldier depending on the map, the mission, your plan, etc. After that the mission starts in a turn based format. You play first, followed by the other one or two sides. Enemies and neutrals. The later UFO Enemy Unknown is close to this one in the tactical aspect. You spend action points for each action. Move, turn, operate, shoot, reload, etc. The number of AP per soldier depends on the soldier's stats AND how much they carry. Heavier load = fewer AP. There are fields of view for each soldier and each enemy character on the map. There are obstacles which can block the view and the shots, both friendly and enemy. You can choose how to shoot which can cost different AP, etc. Basically if you have played UFO or say Laser Squad, you will quickly feel at home here. It's a very good game, especially for the time. I did an unboxing/quick look of the ST version few years ago. https://youtu.be/lj6_9CYD8pg
