TASTEE offers deep tactical gameplay with simultaneous turns, allowing for strategic planning and intense moments.
The game features charming graphics and a humorous campaign that adds personality to the characters.

The planning phase can be cumbersome and confusing, making it difficult for new players to fully enjoy the tactical elements.

The game's story is generally considered underwhelming, with a generic narrative that primarily serves to introduce new squad members rather than engage players deeply. While the campaign features a charming and humorous tone, it lacks the depth and excitement of a more developed storyline, leaving players wanting more. Despite this, the single-player content offers a variety of missions and challenges, making it enjoyable for those focused on gameplay rather than narrative.
- “Though the campaign doesn't dazzle with flashy cutscenes or extravagant storytelling, it is charming and humorous.”
- “Tastee takes place in a more modern/realistic setting, in which it puts you in charge of a team of specialists whose mission is solely to disrupt cartel activities.”
- “Tastee has a 30 mission campaign with new squad members unlocked as you play.”
- “On the other hand, the campaign leaves something to be desired; it feels like it just serves as a way to introduce you to new squad members because the storyline itself is pretty generic.”
- “- underwhelming storyline”
- “A respectable effort in turn-based strategy, but if you’re after a story and a welcoming hand, you’ve come to the wrong place.”

The graphics of the game have been positively received, with many players noting its catchy, cartoony art style reminiscent of Team Fortress 2, which enhances the overall atmosphere. Reviewers appreciate the clear and sharp visuals, as well as the ability to rotate the camera for a closer look at the action. Overall, it is described as an improved visual experience compared to Frozen Synapse, although some players feel it could benefit from additional graphical options and features.
- “The graphics are nice and cartoony and serve the mood of the game well.”
- “If you're looking for a Frozen Synapse with more interesting visuals and a slightly more intuitive UX/UI, this seems to be it.”
- “Clear and sharp graphics, the camera is rotatable in every direction, great fun to see the action up-close when watching a replay.”
- “The character art style is very similar to Team Fortress, which I've never been a fan of.”
- “Additionally (and this is nitpicky) it needs just a few more features added such as easy access to graphics options, mouse scrolling options, and the addition of turn notifications.”
- “[needs more classes, exclusively small scale tactics might disappoint some, visuals struggle to stand up to close scrutiny]”

- “I just couldn't get into it; there aren't any issues with performance, controls, or visuals, I simply found the core gameplay boring.”

- “Runs smoothly for me, and if you are into this genre, it is certainly worth having in your library.”
