Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Simple (but charming) graphics enable an enormous variety of tactical gameplay without inflating the development budget, but the truth is, maintaining perfect control of a mission never lasts for long.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Even after completing every achievement (besides the ones that require friends), and 100%ing it twice, I still sit down every once in a while to just play a couple characters.
