The story is criticized for its repetitive mission structure, with players encountering the same mission types multiple times, leading to a lack of engagement. Additionally, the game presents a steep difficulty curve that can be frustrating, especially when technical issues like crashes occur during gameplay. Overall, the narrative experience seems to fall short of keeping players invested.
“An end-of-week big mission to kill all 30 enemies meant that in 3 turns, 25 enemies completely surrounded my men, who had nowhere to hide - though I was hiding in a room that was just rammed full of the enemy.”
“I also got three of the same exact mission types after my first mission, played one of them, and then realized I really was not enjoying the game.”
“The game doesn't pull any punches either; the difficulty ramps up pretty quickly after a few missions.”
