Gameplay

35 of 284 sampled reviews raised it
The mechanics are solid, and the way the game progresses up to a certain point is smile inducing.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
22 of 284 sampled reviews raised it
It comes with most of the other features of the previous game (randomised pilots you can name that can earn RPG traits and manauvers through experince whilst fighting randomised missions between 1-4 AI pilots using hex combat in a turn based system) and it is especially worth it after playing Ace Patrol.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.

It can get quite complex, challenging and captivating if you play it on higher difficulty levels.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 284 sampled reviews raised it
Sound design and music are similarly understated, reinforcing the strategic tone without drawing attention away from decision-making.
