Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
28 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Furthermore, the gameplay has a very nice strategic concept as a vehicle out powers infantry, though the infantry can flank and destroy the vehicle.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The music is nice, the ambient music turns into combat music well-synchronized, and it’s overall sounding nice.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Assault Squad compensates for an underwhelming skirmish mode by having strong graphics and optimised performance.
Co-op

9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I played this game for 15 hours but there is enough content to play through to 30 hours, and with friends at least 60 hours of fun.
