How it feels

A turn-based strategy game that simulates the tense, low-level conflict of the Troubles with a top-down hex grid, emphasizing careful management and consequential choices.

What players say

Players praise the rare counter-insurgency subject but are split on execution. Many find the game impenetrably complex without a tutorial, and some accuse the developer of reusing assets from other games. A few applaud the depth despite rough graphics.
