Jan 17, 2017The game is slow-paced and simple, a strategy title much in keeping with checkers. Although not the same game, it's fun in the same way; it's simple yet surprisingly hard from time to time as you adjust to new opposing skills. Unfortunately the campaign can become monotonous, while multiplayer lacks online capability and much purpose. Overall, the game is no more than average in any way.

Jan 17, 2017The turn-based strategy is solid, but everything else surrounding Acorn Assault: Rodent Revolution is a hard nut to swallow. The repetitive slog and poorly written story make this quirky game uninteresting, albeit weird. I have a tough time recommending this game to anyone including those who enjoy strategy games, as the core turn-based gameplay is not good enough to warrant having to trudge through the issues the game has.

Feb 11, 2017This game brings little new innovation, if any at all. It does not stand out in any particular aspect. Its absurd difficulty is an excuse to cover up the main failures. It is a kind of arcade misrepresented from the previous generation. It does not stand out for its gameplay nor for its design, but at least we can play with squirrels.
