    I'm a huge fan of turn-based tactic games so I bought this in May immediately after it (mistakenly?) appeared in PS Store. A day later it was taken off and no longer available. God, I regret there is no refund policy at PS Store. This was quite expensive $40 so I expected a lot from this game.

    In short it's a joke. It's like you took a Switch game and ported it your TV screen without any changes. It's overly simplified, way too easy to play, no way to control the difficulty level. Even my cat would be able to play. Switch graphics. The worst part is actually the music ... when a battle begins the techno music is so unpleasant I had to turn off the sound in my TV.

    The game is so bad that I had to register to meta critic to write this review and warn you people.    … Expand

    1971 Project Helios has an enjoyable plot to unravel, decent character development and challenging AI to defeat, but it's mired in murky and unclear visuals and repetitive gameplay. You're probably best off giving this one a miss.

    1971 Project Helios is an ok tactical game with a satisfying gameplay loop, few new ideas, good aesthetics and some technical issues.

    There are a lot of great strategy games on the PlayStation 4. Maybe, if that weren’t the case, it would be easier to forgive 1971 Project Helios being a bland adventure with largely forgettable characters engaging in claustrophobic encounters against enemies that all sort of blend together. I mean, it works well enough on the system. The loading screens are a little long for something so basic, but that isn’t an egregious offense. You can even see how sometimes it is trying to push people to be aggressive. Unfortunately, I found it completely unappealing in every way, which isn’t great when it was surrounded by better games every time I turned on my system.
