“Fun but kinda feels like a mobile game when it comes to actual depth. It's hard to judge what the full release will be like based off the mission we got here. But the one provided to sell the game was extremely linear and fairly easy on…”
3 h played
“Gameplay in 80% consists of raising people's stats. Train. Train. Train. Not only is this incredibly boring,but it's never properly explained (or depicted in an obvious manner) how each stat impacts a soldier's performance.”
