    This game is a disappointment. The idea is nice, the setting is nice, but it is just sooo repetitive. Select another mission, kill all that moves, scavenge the map, move to next mission. That would be ok if there was a story to tell. Sadly & despite commercials, the story almost doesn't exist. The music is all the time the same & simply boring. Another problem is AI - enemies are simplyThis game is a disappointment. The idea is nice, the setting is nice, but it is just sooo repetitive. Select another mission, kill all that moves, scavenge the map, move to next mission. That would be ok if there was a story to tell. Sadly & despite commercials, the story almost doesn't exist. The music is all the time the same & simply boring. Another problem is AI - enemies are simply dumb. The only tactic they know is: get in shooting range & shoot till death. That's pretty bad for a game, where 99% content is shooting enemies. Did I mention there is no possibility to set difficulty level?

    tl;dr: non existent story, repetitiveness, extremely dumb AI (in a tactic game!!). Not even worth your time.    … Expand

    It's an attractive game, then, and easy to pick up, but also a tad too static and shallow in its tactics. You're not making the biggest mistake of your life if you give this a chance. But at the same time, you could just as well finally try and finish XCOM in 'Ironman' mode.

    It’s not an indie blockbuster, but it can arouse some enthusiasm if you enjoy tactical games. [10/2014, p.65]

    Not the deepest strategy game around, but fast-paced, engaging and ultimately very fun to play.
