About Sabre Team

✦ AI summary

Lead an elite four-member S.A.S. team through five intense counter-terrorism missions in this isometric turn-based tactical infiltration game where careful planning and improvisation are crucial to success. Customize your squad's loadout, scout enemy positions, and execute precision strikes before your opponents can react—one mistake can turn victory into catastrophic failure.

Who Dares Wins

The Special Air Service, or S.A.S., is a highly classified elite special forces unit with a stunning array of specialized combat and reconnaissance capabilities. They are tactical experts called in to handle the most difficult missions where the odds of success are considered remote under even the most optimistic assessment. Now, they’re being summoned to complete five new counter-terrorism, hostage rescue, and search and destroy missions under your command!

Sabre Team is an isometric squad-level turn-based infiltration simulation developed by Krisalis Software Ltd. that lets you assemble and take command of a Sabre Team unit of four hand-picked elite S.A.S. agents as they confront delicate and dangerous scenarios involving terrorist threats and hostage situations. Planning ahead and skillful improvisation in the heat of battle are necessary when one wrong move can mean the difference between success and failure. Put your strategic leadership to the test and achieve victory before your enemies even know what hit them.
  • Dive into five harrowing missions, including an embassy siege, hostage rescues, and search and destroy missions.
  • Assemble your elite four-member team, selecting each member with the right stats, experience, and specialties for the job.
  • Customize each squad member’s loadout before each mission, including various types of weapons, grenades, and armor modeled after equipment used by the real-life S.A.S.
  • Listen to a voiced briefing before each mission and get a closer look at events during the missions with cutscene artwork.
  • Test your mettle against terrorists and opposing forces who act intelligently to counter your actions.

I figured this would like a cool little X-com: UFO Defense type of game, but I was mistaken. The UI is somehow even less user friendly and the entire objective of the game seems to be in finding ways to piss me off. I expected better, honestly.

[i]Sabre Team[/i], the DOS version, is inferior to the AMIGA version in every way, to the point where I am unsure as to why contemporary consumers were only given the obsolete option. With that said, this version does not allow contact with terrorists if they are not in the same room as the player's units, or just outside of the door, yet the enemy AI does not have [b]any[/b] issue taking long shots at one's units from across multiple rooms and out of view, no matter if the unit is facing the direction of the fired shot or not. Even with the manual, players will struggle with the controls and mechanics, as every action costs action points and every factor must be painstakingly micromanaged, lest players be forced to reload their saves dozens of times. The most generous thing that can be said about this product is that its DOS version does it no favors whatsoever.

Sabre Team was my one of the first strategy games of my childhood and I wished there was a remake. If you like original Ufo enemy unknown (tactical missions type of game play) than you should give a go. Old school classic.

I give it 7/10. I like it more because its a bit of an inspiration. I feel someone could greatly improve upon this excellent formula. The gameplay could use a lot of polish, the difficulty is a bit high due to the poor polish. But the art and concepts are great. I especially love the art.
