Sept. 2024

It's good, but you have to want to play this kind of puzzle game. I just end up accidentally speedrunning losing all my guys in the first 3 seconds (literally). Some really dated menu and option systems, I don't even know if you can change parameters for the quick skirmishes. There's a story campaign and the writing actually seems really interesting but I'm not good enough at the game to experience it.

Awesome game, created the entire genre that is now popularized by titles like Breach & Clear, Breach & Clear: Deadline, and No Plan B. Excellent, strategic gameplay, an incredible amount of ways for each level to play out, a high skill ceiling, you can be as intricate, well thought out, and professional as you want to be here, as you're given every action and tool you need to lay out your best plans, check your corners, and take the shots. Highly recommended, even after all this time.

Classic tactics game with great atmosphere

It's like what would happen if you took Chess and Counterstrike and transmuted them in a Horadric Cube...

I'm not much of a PvP / Internet match guy -- but I really enjoyed the mission variety of the single-player campaign. The story is a little convoluted and meh - but I'm not sure you play this to find a mind-bending plot. I strongly recommend visiting the strategy guide/wiki to learn the underlying mechanics of what wins over what (first sight, range, etc.,) or the missions become complete guess-work. (I really struggled before I knew what I was doing and there is some nice eye-candy firing effects that mask the ultimate fate of a unit given the conditions (victory in a gunfight is not random...) Overall - a very nice tactical primer.
