How it feels

A tense, methodical wargame where success hinges on careful resource management and winning civilian trust rather than pure combat.

What players say

Players say the focus on logistics is the main draw, but the game is punishing and the AI cheats by spawning IEDs and units for free. Reviews are split on whether the depth makes up for the frustration, the repetitive missions, and the rough, ugly interface.
