What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Meridian: Squad 22 is a budget RTS with a short campaign that shows improvement over its predecessor, but it suffers from technical issues like unit freezing and unpolished controls that lack standard RTS features like command queuing. Players praise the streamlined mechanics and engaging story, but criticize the repetitive AI patterns, limited content beyond the campaign, and overall feel that it's unpolished for its price point. Most reviewers recommend picking it up only during deep sales for a few hours of entertainment, with none suggesting it's worth the full asking price.

The amount of time i had my units freeze in spot, or get stuck not able to be moved or 'commanded' ruined a lot of maps. Cool concept, but not made perfectly.

The game is "OK", however it is not worth the 14.99$ price tag. I bought the game on sale for 2.99$, and for that price, its worth its value, but that's mostly because it feels unpolished, and it is also lacking a lot of the traditional RTS controls, like being able to give units multiple commands to execute in sequence. Would i recommend the game? If the game is on sale for less than 5$, yes, but 5$ is the most i would pay for this game, any more than that, and it just isn't worth buying. I know the game was released in 2016, but even back then, standards were a lot higher than what was put into the project here. If the developer would add QOL features for general RTS control schemes, then i think the game would be worth the 15$, but for me, it is almost unplayable, due to the controls being lacking.

I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand I desperately needed to ensure I could continue providing. Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…

I'll start by saying that this game is much, much better than the first game in this series. The gameplay mechanics are greatly improved/streamlined and the campaign is much more engaging in terms of story, characters, and gameplay. That being said, this is still a B tier RTS, but it's still somewhat fun to play. It also helps that the campaign is pretty short (around 6 hours), so it doesn't overstay its welcome and is fun while it lasts. Overall, if you really need an RTS game to play, this one can scratch that itch and will provide you with a few hours of fun, but don't pay more than a few dollars for it. Once you beat the short campaign, the other modes aren't interesting, so you'll probably drop the game. So don't pay too much for this small amount of content.

Significant improvement over New World, still not great. Units now are easily recognizable, map zoom and rotation is present, although pretty limited, upgrades make sense. Problem is still with AI — in conquest mode every single match will play out exactly the same, enemy AI never ever deviates from it's pattern: build several units (depending on difficulty), attack main base using most direct route (so you only need to build defenses only in one place), wait several minutes, repeat. On base side of thing it will only rebuild powerplants and factories. Destroyed turret control center, removing all defenses? Whatever. Buy with very deep discount, play 10-12 conquest matches and delete forever.
