[quote] [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/36214917/]Follow our Curator Page, MMM Reviews, for more in-depth reviews and recommendations[/url] [/quote] [i]Recon Control[/i] is a 2D turn-based tactics game where you put together a spec-ops team and attempt to complete various missions. On its store page, there is an odd claim that this is a hybrid of strategy and platformer, but I can’t imagine how this could possibly be considered a platformer aside from literally having some platforms in the game. Regardless, this is a straightforward tactics game that doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel, for better or worse.

The art isn’t going for anything overly realistic, there’s a nice stylized look to the characters with chunky heads and arms to highlight each soldier’s equipment. It’s readable as a strategy game, while also not looking too shabby either. In what will be a recurring theme, there isn’t a ton to complain about, nor praise here.

Boring to play, annoying to figure out anything without some sort of tutorial, the UI is not the best. Also, add RNG to that so you're not sure if you're attacking right.

It’s still a good game, though, if you’re into tactical mission-based games. And watching your men die.
