This Game is made all the more infuriating by how good it could be, but it is just frustration and anger wraped in a pretty bow. A brawl disquised as tactical combat. I had to delete it to prevent myself from trying to progress because I feel like if I smashed my head against this brick wall long enough I might find gold underneath. The cake is a lie, and this game is just a turn based third person shooter.

After some time I decided to give the game another go, and really put in some hours to see if the game improves as you progress. It does, alot. If you can get past the first 10 missions there is a fun game underneath the pain and agony. I like games that punish poor decisions, not so much games that punish bad luck with rolls. This one is unfortunately the latter, a little good luck can get you a long way but the best flanking manouver can go horribly wrong when every attack misses even though it claims your odds are over 80%

I still cannot recommend this game; even though I am personally enjoying it and will likely continue playing. Even a victory is a defeat early on as the route mechanics just do not function properly for low level groups making most optional objectives completely unattainable. If you are a stubborn sort who can get past the first 10 hours then go for it, otherwise look elsewhere.
