Why players love itThings to know
56% of themes are praise11% are divided33% are complaints
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
63 of 169 sampled reviews raised it
Several new map types, with more planned, which offer not only aesthetic variety, but also diverse tactical challenges, as different maps require different approaches, and will be better for certain classes/builds.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
48 of 169 sampled reviews raised it
There is "permi-death," but as long as you follow the obvious generic combat strategy for turn-based combat you will never come close to dying.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
21 of 169 sampled reviews raised it
However, I love the graphics in this game, mostly for how detail-oriented it is.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
19 of 169 sampled reviews raised it
A good squad-based tactics game is all about options; different approaches should be possible in all areas of the game, from soldier level progression, to equipment loadouts, to which character classes you choose for your squad, to the literal approach you take when engaging enemies.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 169 sampled reviews raised it
The sound effects are satisfying to listen to and have a surprisingly high level of recording clarity.
