    A failed f2p multiplayer JA2/XCOM style game

    Good: - 2D graphics are high detail - it's an XCom/JA style game which I'm a lifetime fan of
    A failed f2p multiplayer JA2/XCOM style game

    Good:
    - 2D graphics are high detail
    - it's an XCom/JA style game which I'm a lifetime fan of

    So-so:
    - it uses the 2 action points combat system with covers which I personally dislike since the 2011 XCOM re-make but everyone is using it now, so I guess some players like it and it's a matter how casual the game wants to be. Being an f2p game, this one obviously has to be midcore, hence the 2AP system

    Bad:
    - it's a 2D game but it lags on my 2019 gaming laptop! I don't know what this is. Maybe the whole game was first developed for web browser, and the PC version is a wrapper around it?
    - English localization is horrible, to a point that you won't understand the tutorial properly because of mistranslations. I had to switch to Russian (and restart the game) during the tutorial.
    - it's obviously a pay-to-win game, that's why it's free. Though this doesn't matter in 2021 because the game is dead. I wonder why they even still keep a server running.

    In retrospect, even if this game had proper English localization it still probably wouldn't succeed because the fanbase of JA2 and XCom despises f2p. Though, what do I know...
