    Very poor turn based game. Single move combat, plays poorly and looks average. Not worth playing.

    Крайне слабо. Казалось бы благодатный антураж (латинская Америка, наркокартели). Можно было сделать что-нибудь похожее на Jagged Alliance.
    Но увы.
    1. Глупейший ИИ. 2. Невозможно сменить оружие после миссии (к примеру взять вместо дробовика, автомат). 3. Разрушаемости нет. 4. Имбовое лечение (просто нажал отдыхать и лечишься). Ужас. Не берите это. Лучше перепройдите JA2. Или XCOM Long    Крайне слабо. Казалось бы благодатный антураж (латинская Америка, наркокартели). Можно было сделать что-нибудь похожее на Jagged Alliance.

    If you take away the fun aspects of XCOM: strategic unit placement, choosing between defensive and offensive tactics, deciding squad loadout and customization of appearances, you get Narcos: RotC. It's a boring tit-for-tat combat system that is neither enjoyable nor rewarding. You cannot even rename your random recruits.

    This anemic game is not worthy of the amazing TV show it is based on.

    The game presents some interesting innovation in the genre, a level design that should match, but is weighed down by a movement system that only allows one unit to be controlled for each turn.

    Your enjoyment of Narcos: Rise of the Cartels is going to be heavily based on whether you can accept its strategy game conceit. If you're good with the idea of only being able to control one unit at a time per turn, then you might be fine so long as you're also willing to accept the inherent lack of strategy that goes along with the very limited objective set. If you want your strategy games to be a little more traditional, where every unit can do something on a turn, then you'll hate this game to the point that even the counteract mechanic can't make things interesting. In short, Narcos is a hard sell for fans of the series, let alone strategy game fans, unless you can find it for a very deep discount.
