How it feels

You command a small outgunned squad in a grim alternate-history battlefield, balancing tactical positioning and loot against technologically superior foes.

What players say

Players are split on this classic 2004 tactical RPG port. Fans praise its unique post-apocalyptic atmosphere and nostalgia, but many say the difficulty spikes into a brick wall, the controls are clunky, and resolution options are stuck at 4:3. Bugs and mission scripting issues frustrate even those who love the game.
