About Frozen Synapse 2
Open World Tactics
Frozen Synapse 2 brings you classic tactical gameplay with a new twist: it's set within a vast procedurally generated city. We're calling it "open world tactics" - a combination of grand strategy and simultaneous-turn-based combat.
In single player, Frozen Synapse 2 tasks you with defending the city of Markov Geist against an array of threats from within and without. Set up bases, deploy your forces and then enter any building or engage a target anywhere on the map: you define your own strategy.
When you're ready to take tactical control, the camera will zoom down to your units, enabling you to make your plan and test it out. When you hit the "Prime" button, your moves are locked in and you must see how they play out against your opponent's plan.
The City
The city is a living system, with many AI-controlled factions vying for control and conducting their own nefarious business.
Choose to collaborate or betray, rob banks, assasinate political leaders or establish a delicate diplomatic accord: it’s up to you.
Investigate the mysterious force which is making incursions into the city while trying to establish your own power base in this complex and treacherous futuristic world. Follow the extensive story or abandon it to forge your own path: it's up to you.
You'll meet factions like the financial manipulators Diamond Brothers or the hacker collective GUEST as you navigate the political landscape.
Multiplayer
Frozen Synapse 2 features classic multiplayer modes from the original game as well as new ways to outwit your opponents, like the thrilling instant action of One Turn mode: commit your plan and see how it plays out against a range of oppositions from players all around the world.
New Features
Frozen Synapse 2 adds many new units like the Flamethrower, Minigun, Knife and Smoke Grenade.
Curved walls and new objects like trees, rocks and cars allow for much more realistic levels on a variety of scales, from a road intersection to an enormous shopping mall.
New Focus Diamond mechanic allows you to take out tricky enemies who insist on camping behind cover by predicting their location!
Vastly improved AI makes for tense tactical battles and a host of UI improvements mean that the planning process is slicker than ever before.
And of course, there's a brand new soundtrack from nervous_testpilot!

It doesn't live up to its full potential and drags on for a lot longer than it probably should, but it's definitely still worth playing. Just... maybe not worth finishing. In 2024 it's still a bit buggy -- you'll get some crashes and occasional weird behavior, especially with the mission generation -- but not nearly to the nigh-unplayable extent that old reviews make it out to be. Crashes aren't a huge deal since the game autosaves extremely often, so it takes like two minutes at most to recover from them.6 found this helpful
Great game, not too different from first game. Door Kickers 2 is based off FS2, but while I think DK2 is good it's clear that the control and mechanics of FS2 is better. Wish there were a similar coop vs AI mode here, but there isn't.1 found this helpful
they fixed it. you should play it. soundtrack is a banger, as per usual.1 found this helpful
Вообщем mixed в отзывах тут неспроста. Сама идея была хороша - боевая система FS плюс стратегия в городе с кучей фракций (этакий Икском Апокалипсис). Но баги, вылеты. Пишу отзыв после того, как несколько раз попытался сохранить расположение юнитов на базе, но при окончании игра стабильно вылетает. Посколько на базу вот-вот будет атака, и по окончании штурма игра вылетает, трай запорот, увы
Still the best strategy game I've played, and I've had it for a while. Frozen Synapse 1 and 2 are great if you like the genre
I'll be upfront and honest with this review. I chose to recommend this game because I love Frozen Synapse (1) and Cortex and want to see a 3rd Frozen game. Frozen Synapse 2 is decent but given the option I would choose a mixed review status. Frozen Synapse 2 is a turn based military/mercenary game where both players plan out their 5 second turns in unison, and than see what happens. You are given a TON of orders and decisions to make such as ignoring a certain area, crouching, standing, ignoring all enemies, and a lot more. Once you really get into it it's an addicting game to plan out the perfect turn... only for your opponent to do something you didn't expect. What's different in FS2 however is the campaign map. It's a randomly generated city with different buroughs, factions buildings ect. You take contracts for the different factions to get favor and money from them, piss off other ones and it's all a really cool cyberpunk feeling merc game. The music is phenominal as always from nervous_testpilot, and it can be extremely satisfying. However... this is a pretty rough game, even all these years later. The tutorial seems to always crash at a certain part (after the main …
