Respectfully, I don't see how anyone can say this is a perfect example of a Free to Play game, in fact, it's actually the worst. This game has an awful Pay to Win aspect and an unplayable Singleplayer with dead multiplayer servers, that makes this game one bug waste of Hard Drive space This is one of the worst Free to Play games I ever played...
Overall: 3- Fails to achieve anything, and ♥♥♥♥es off FTP Player while they're at it...
+ The game plays with great potential of becoming a rival to the Frozen Synapse game
- This game is not only pay to win, but pay to ENJOY
- Dead servers
- Horrid Singleplayer
Graphics: 6
I understand where the graphics are getting at, it's a free game, and it's birds eye view, even though it looks like a mobile game port, I never really had expectations for the graphics in the first place.
Gameplay: 3
It feels like a dumbed down Frozen Synapse, but that's okay, but once you play you'll realize how cheap it really is, and how unrealistic and foolish players can be and STILL win. Speaking of horrible players, have I mentioned the singleplayer? An abysmal singleplayer is what you would expect from a mainly multiplayer game, but see, they effed it up REAL bad! The A.I. either A. bum-rush you, or B. DON'T DO ANYTHING AT ALL. It basically relies on luck, whether or not the enimies will be cheap no matter how strategic you are, or they will be dumb no matter how much you're winning. You never feel like you get a rewarding experience from it at all.
Oh, and one more thing, the Pay to Win is beyond some of the worst I've seen, in-game credits are worthless, and only worth something if you have 5$ along side it, if you don't want to pay, GOOD LUCK, you'll be stuff with a guy with a pistol and a guy with a MACHINE PISTOL while everyone has 5 guys with riot shields and f*cking Snipers. It's frustrating, beyond that it's ABYSMAL!
Uniqueness: 6
We've seen it before, XCOM, Frozen Synapse, etc. But what stands out about the game is that it actually some what succeeds in making that content stand out, but fails just as you jump right into Singleplayer, and as you fail to decide to spend money, it's just a dumbed down Frozen Synapse with nothing to offer.
Music: 5
There isn't much music, but there is a background theme in the menu that sadly repeats are has no variation, also the in-game sounds are also, but barely qualitfies as music, but just noise.
Story: 2
There is, technically a warfare story in the game, but it's told in text and is barely established, nonexistant...
