TACTICAL

TACTICAL is what a crossover game between Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions and Hotline: Miami would feel like. The challenge is simple: Manipulate your soldier to eliminate robots from behind. The execution however is daunting: It's brutal, it's fast (some levels barely give you time to get in position before it's over), it requires failing mutilple times before you can come up with the proper soultion, and it is addictive. While this is, at its core, a puzzle game, you absolutely must have fast reflexes ad manual dexterity to be able to carry out the maneuvers needed to complete most missions. TACTICAL's design choices work in its favor; the minimalistic approach to graphics means information is clear and easy to digest on the fly (which is essential in this type of game). The chiptune music is repetitive and grating but, man, if that doesn't add to the massive tension felt whilst playing. Seriously: Alien Isolation doesn't get my heart rate and blood pressure as elevated as this game does. Speaking of music, it and the sound effects levels can be adjusted, and the usual graphics options are avaialable. However, while the game does remember what level you're on, don't expect to be…

An amazing game, the graphics aren't great, the mechanics are really hard (you get spotted very fast). Really addictive game!

PROS: Challenging Brings back memories of MGS or any sneaking games CONS: Sound is annoyingly repetitive. The song is just terrible Visual aspect is poor.

Really enjoyed this game. Great Value. Sweet Levels. 8/10 definitely worth the purchase.

This could’ve been be a neat fast-paced stealth game, but is instead *utterly* unplayable because guard sight cones are invisible. Not to mention that guards seem to have infinitely long line of sight, even from potentially off-screen. As a result, you constantly die in utterly unsatisfying ways. My recommendation: play good 2D stealth games like Mark of the Ninja instead.

Very fun and very challenging. Really forces you to stop, think, and plan ahead to beat the later levels.
