How it feels

A thoughtfully paced tactical RPG where you build and upgrade a team to fend off waves of enemies in a vibrant, story-driven post-apocalyptic setting.

What players say

Players widely see this as a step down from the original in art, story, and difficulty. The campaign is on the easy side, enemy variety is low, and the story has no connection to the predecessor until the very end.
