How it feels

A methodical, retro-inspired sci-fi strategy game where you manage units and make narrative choices that shape the campaign.

What players say

Players warn that this 2014 RTS no longer runs for many due to XNA crashes, and those who can play find it a frustrating experience. The campaign quickly becomes tedious thanks to bad pathfinding, poor unit identification, and no camera controls. Several reviewers say to skip this and play its sequel, Meridian Squad 22, instead.
