Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
50 of 183 sampled reviews raised it
And yet, underneath all that carefully aged gorgonzola there is a surprisingly intricate game design; full of slowly unfolding elements, pleasant yet firm difficulty curve, enough variety for a quite long campaign, and even some meta progression.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
26 of 183 sampled reviews raised it
The vaguely retro graphics and optional fuzzy video tape overlay lend it a lot of personality.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
24 of 183 sampled reviews raised it
The game play is fun and challenging (especially after you progress in the game far enough) and the story consistently challenges me (to the point of frustration some times which kudos since not many games can do that to me and still make me want to play XD)
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
14 of 183 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack reinforces the atmosphere with dramatic themes that heighten the tension during monster attacks while maintaining the game's playful tone.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
9 of 183 sampled reviews raised it
There's crisis management, using buildings as bait, project deckbuilding, scientist evacuation, experimental weapons, tactics and technologies, upgrading your hero units... like I said before, this is a huge game; as big as any of the AAA strategy titles of eld.
