A very interesting game. There's a lot to like- it's original, it's got good music, it's characters are pretty cool. Conversely, the cutscenes are unskippable, difficultly curve is weird, and the map and load outs are imprecise and frustrating. I'm also not sold on the timing being a factor in a tactics game and the aiming being quite so finnicky. I ultimately got to the last level and gave it up. It was hard and I didn't care quite enough.

Did not roll credits.
