It has fun, addictive gameplay, varied missions with lots of loot, low system requirements while maintaining decent visuals, and great sound design.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
135 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Items may seem expensive at first, but the more operations you complete, the easier it is to buy new toys, and there are many things to choose from, including weapons, armor, utility items, vehicles, vehicle weapons and accessories, or additional squad leaders.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
81 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game has great sound effects and visuals and for the most part very satisfying gameplay. the pacing is good in terms of difficulty and you will find yourself getting attached to your units even if the dialogue is a bit.... cheese.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
53 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Every squad leader has a different personality, emphasized by decent voice acting.
Graphics

Maybe textures are demanding for my gpu i don't know but other than that i am really happy with the performance.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I appreciate the character design, each "Squad Leader" (named, persistent characters who level up over time and can be customized with skills) has a unique personality and specialization.
