This is the best game I own. And that's saying something, because I have over 40 games.
OK, when u start out you take control of a guy names Jorel. His parents were abducted by the Arelians(evil aliens), so he fled south to join the rebels. The first few missions areyour training as a level rebel soldier, so you can only use Jorel. But after a few missions, you will take control of more characters. Some of these are: Zak, a heavy weapons expert, Ruby, a sniper, Sapphire, a healer, and , my personal favorite, a ninja-like character who is stealthy and uses close-combat weapons, such as knives and stun rods. There are also many other characters, like Gordo. Anyway, it's a combo of turn-based battles and an RPG. The battles are very fun, which is good, because they make up the entire game. Every action takes a certain amount of APs, and you have lmited APs for every character each turn. One ove my favorite features is Overwatch. If a character who has Overwatch activated, when an enemy walks in front of them, they get shot--DURING THEIR OWN TURN!!!! It's pretty cool. There's a lot more to this game, but I'm tired of typing. You owe it to your self to get this game.
