How it feels

A tense, tactical real-time strategy game where you command a small squad of elite mercenaries in a gritty cyberpunk city, balancing careful planning with fast-paced action.

What players say

Players compare it to XCOM but note the real-time squad control is clunky and the camera problematic. Many praise the cyberpunk atmosphere and fast-paced tactical combat, but reviews from 2017 onward report the developers stopped updating and the game crashes regularly.
