What players think
The recurring themes across 68 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The signature simultaneous-turn combat system remains the heart of the experience and continues to deliver some of the most satisfying tactical gameplay in the genre.
Instead the game's withered away into near-obscurity, and a player count in the single-digits also makes the multiplayer largely untenable unless you recruit a friend to play with or something.
Overall if you enjoyed FS1 or are interested in the concept (simultaneous turns, tight and visceral combat with nothing left to chance, extremely detailed orders down to fractions of a second, and all with an amazing and atmospheric soundtrack and in-game sounds) then you should certainly give this a try!
The music is also great, as expected, and the visuals complement the action nicely as they fizzle, pop and glow in cool blues and bright streaks of light.
You CAN find some gameplay here, don't get me wrong - my hours in game were not spent idling at a menu.

Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway.
