been palying this for last 4 months. i think its great just takes a lot of thought in ur moves if ur gonna win. Most players do not use the cash shop and even when fully equipped u can still lose. Ideas i have put forward were received well and some were even implemented , the comments don refers to were only from a couple of users who thought their point was not getting across and kept posting similar comments.

This game has gone downhill since the beta ended and the store was implemented. The developers have been making changes to the game in order to force you to spend money so you can remain competitive. The developers are real dicks, too. Check out how they respond to constructive criticism (not mine) about the game. There are lots and lots of responses like that.

The most fun is MASSIVE battles like 5×5 players. With 3 units per player it will be 30 unit massacre. While takes really a lot of time (up to 3 hours), still incredibly fun.

???????????????

But I’m not a fan of the graphics either.

I quite like it. I’ve had a couple of games and it’s simple and intuitive, but varied enough to whet your appetite, at least initiall. Games are over in ten or fifteen minutes. The interface is pleasant and everything is done with the minimum of fuss. You’d barely notice you were playing online, it’s that straightforward. It appears to be just as deep and variable as it needs to be.

I can’t seem to find an option to make a game invite-only, though perhaps I’m being a moron. Slight annoyance there, both for me and the witless numpties I had to repeatedly kick, who replied to my increasingly blunt explanations with “???????????????”.

And the graphics are fine, for goodness’ sake. It’s reasonably bright and clear, easy to distinguish everything, and far from unattractive (My chum’s verdict on the graphics: “It’s habbo hotel with guns.”). What do you want from 11Mb of free stuff?

Overall, definitely worth a look with a chum or two. Potentially a stayer.

It’s an online game, man. She lives miles away. If I were trying to show off, I’d talk about my impressive … er….

Damn.

Also, that’s a goddamn long bath. Sigh. I’d best call an ambulance.

@sinister
Did you just say HER. You game with a chick that lives with you? Gamer fantasy relationship? Does she bring you beverages and come in to game naked too? :(

Anyhow. Tried game. Suxed.

I’m waiting for a friend to finish her bath so we can play this. It seems promising. About time there was a decent wee multiplayer laser-squad-’em-up on the internet.

I’ve been playing this since beta launch and I must admit it is incredibly fun if you can close your eyes on graphics. It has a lot of variety and strategy depth and while being similar to X-com or Jagged Alliance somehow it reminds me of chess :)

Pretty neat little game. I was surprised how fun it was despite being so simple.
