    Line of Defense Tactics includes an entertaining and in-depth strategy experience, yet doesn't provide a great introduction to the game's universe with a narrative that isn't compelling or interesting. Even with some of the later levels straying into frustrating territory, much of the game provides a worthwhile and challenging gameplay experience that is sure to please strategy enthusiasts. While not perfect, Line of Defense Tactics is a solid entry in the squad-based strategy genre.

    A short and fun game that I felt was paced well and can be picked up even when you only have a few minutes to spare before heading out to do something else. This in turn is a good thing because the difficulty spikes in the game In some ways this was a great idea because sometimes having to spend 30-50 minutes on a level to only fail in the last few minutes and then need to restart the level would not be fun.

    This is a quite weak experience, and needs to be polished and improved if it wants to become an option among so many rivals.

    It’s not a particularly good advert for the brand, or the MMO. It’s way too pricey for what it is, and it’s got very little replayability. Coupled with the fact that there are plenty of games on tablet that do what it’s trying to do so so much better (The tablet port of XCOM, for example) that, really, this looks incredibly amateurish by comparison.

    If you’re looking for a squad based strategy game on PC, XCOM: Enemy Unknown is currently priced just $5 more than Line of Defense Tactics, and that would be a much smarter and more enjoyable way to spend your time and money.

    I hated Line of Defense Tactics: Tactical Advantage, so its price tag of twenty five dollars is almost as baffling as the game’s quality itself.

    An awkward port of what would otherwise have been a decent game.
    The graphics are middle of the range, neither overwhelmingly good or bad,
    An awkward port of what would otherwise have been a decent game.
    The graphics are middle of the range, neither overwhelmingly good or bad, they just get the job done.
    The sound brings to mind games like Dark Reign or some of the earlier Command and Conquer games - nice, but it won't blow your socks off.
    The control interface for the PC version is awkward at best, you will often find yourself frantically clicking to cancel commands you had just accidentally issued until you have wasted at least a couple of hours recovering from frustratingly failed missions.
