How it feels
A tense, tactical struggle where every decision carries weight and loss is permanent, as you guide a vulnerable squad through a hostile warzone with no support.

What players say
Players enjoy the WEGO system where orders execute simultaneously, but the campaign is short and the game lacks polish. Morale and civilian casualty choices feel meaningless because the story assumes you killed civilians regardless. Some players encounter an infinite loading bug on the final mission.
