    • “Excellent game with a huge amount of replayability and very robust mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay loop is quite engaging and addictive and scales really well with the game's difficulty.”
    • “Amazing gameplay and replayability.”
    • “Devs think making a 'tough' game is when you can auto lose on the first turn; they had no thought on enemy AI or gameplay, just RNG laziness.”
    • “I really tried liking this game, but too often you'd get in a no-win situation, where one or more enemies just appear and position themselves in a way where you are guaranteed to lose hours of gameplay, turning this from a skill-based game into a purely luck-based game.”
    • “Whoever is in charge of gameplay direction for this game is dumb; the moves are clunky, the attacks don't even work.”
  • replayability
    55 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “One of the greatest strategy games ever made with endless replayability and perfect information.”
    • “There aren't enough characters to explain the replayability alone.”
    • “Only a small set of maps that aren't random, so it gets old pretty quick and it is not very replayable.”
    • “There are much better turn-based strategy games out there that are more challenging, more fun, require more thought, and are much more replayable.”
  • story
    47 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Players appreciate the world-building and the variety of missions, although some express a desire for a more substantial narrative and less repetition in gameplay.

    • “Genuinely the best mobile game I've played in a long time - great gameplay, great UI, great story, and great art.”
    • “The theme of mech against kaiju is brilliantly displayed here, making progressing the story more fun and engaging.”
    • “I can't put it down, a great game that has so much replay that is built into the time loop story.”
    • “I wish they added more updates on the lore, better details and an actual different setting/story each time we transfer to a new timeline.”

    • “No ads, no microtransactions, nothing being shoved down your throat, just the full game and DLC, pure and simple.”
    • “Doesn't work without a Netflix subscription, and I had to cancel my subscription as they decided to discontinue my plan. I wasn't putting up with ads or going to a more expensive plan that didn't give any additional benefits I cared about.”
    • “It reminds me of Metal Marines, only more difficult and worried about microtransactions further into the game.”
    • “It's a legitimate game of strategy and not a stupid cash grab game.”
  • graphics
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by a simple yet effective pixelated style that resonates with nostalgia, effectively conveying the game's themes of dread and despair.

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, with significant progress loss and a lack of meaningful rewards contributing to frustration. While the gameplay is enjoyable, the repetitive nature of battles and the grind required to unlock new teams lead to a sense of stagnation, detracting from the overall experience.

    • “I have been grinding enough to get the 25 mech team but just lost half my progress, sending me from 21 to 12. I still love the game, but it's just not perfect.”
    • “Good gameplay but gets stale quickly. You use 3 mechs and then you fight like 30 battles with them. Unlocking new teams is extremely grindy. It's a roguelike that fails at being a roguelike, where every run is stale. I played a lot of games like XCOM, Valkyria Chronicles, Final Fantasy Tactics, Fire Emblem, etc.”
