Pretty revolutionary when it came out and very fun. Unfortunately it has lost a lot of the magic over the years and is quite outdated now.3 found this helpful
Good concept, subpar execution. The UI seems to be working against you at every turn, and although it lets you make tactical decisions at a granular level, it feels rather clunky. I realise it was innovative when it came out, but there are plenty of better options on the market.2 found this helpful
UW Support - ❓ Steam Deck Playable - ❌ This is a game that has not aged well. Playing through the tutorial and some of the levels and they were challenging and fun! The same cannot be said for the support for this game. My account is locked out due to me forgetting the password and it's been months since I've heard back from the support. I get that it's an old game, doesn't mean that locking the two player behind a separate email system was a good idea. Fun game, terrible online experience.
Great idea, poor execution.
This tactical turn based combat simulator lets you command a squad's every move. Satisfying to predict your opponent's move and have a rocket waiting...
Overall I like the concept, but it's a ♥♥♥♥♥ implemented. Weapon differences, moving, positioning, are all supposed to give you various benefits. I can't get behind a game where, using all the suggestions they provide, my machine gun vs, their shot gun, taking two complete turns while sitting still, aimed in his direction and focusing on the shotgun guy, my guy still never takes the shot. The shot gun guy comes around the corner, moves into his own range, and in all that time, my machine gunner never even pulls the trigger once. Not even when within machine gun range, and out of shotgun range... Just sits there... like an absolute nothing, while the shot gunner finally comes into his own range and blasts him. Gave up after 3 or 4 missions, because it's just to random.
