How it feels

A methodical, tense experience where you pause to plan and then execute tactical squad combat in a gritty post-apocalyptic setting.

What players say

Players call it a solid real-time-with-pause tactics game that scratches the Fallout Tactics itch, with a small squad including a dog and a campaign that is short and linear with no side quests. They warn that normal difficulty grows repetitive for experienced players and that the promised four-member squad never fills up. Some complain about the lack of a cover system and limited tactical depth.
