How it feels
A tense turn-based tactics game that feels like commanding an elite squad through high-stakes missions in a bleak, fictional Eastern European state.

What players say
Players describe Chains of Freedom as a competent tactical game that scratches the XCOM or Mutant Year Zero itch, with a flexible crystal-based ability system. Some find the linear story predictable and note the stealth is underdeveloped, while multiple reviewers mention the final missions become tedious and grindy. A few criticize the lack of Ukrainian localization from the Ukrainian developer.
