Хорошая игра. Реализована очень качественно.
Неплохая игра с очень необычной, но дольно крутой системой управления.....
This game is fundamentally broken. First of all, the difficulty feels poorly balanced. I'd say the house always wins. The RNG is more unfair and annoying than in The Darkest Dungeon. Between missions you have a sort of hub for preparing for the next mission where interactions between your soldiers also happen. Most of them have negative outcomes and make your condition worse. Once I lost two squadmates because of it in two dialogues in a row. After that I started a mission where I killed every enemy but couldn't figure out the objective and got stuck. That was the last straw before I uninstalled the game. Often environments are cramped, and your team constantly ends up shooting each other in the back. That happens also because of strange tactics here - you have 7a seven-second timer to plan your turn. Also characters can get stuck in each other if they're very close together and lose a turn. And again, Broken Lines has positive reviews, but half of the achievements is rare.
Neat little game. short and concise. interesting mechanics. DLC is fun too. Recommend buy on discount.
Looks like a tactical WWII squad game, but the combat is shallow and oddly chaotic. The WEGO system sounds interesting, yet in practice outcomes feel opaque and hard to control. Small maps, limited manoeuvre, little tactical nuance. I tried the Prologue, but it did not engage me at all
7/10
A grim tactical turn based squad game. The gameplay is very satisfying on harder difficulties.
Very good
Really enjoyed this. Expansion im not a fan of, but the main game is really good.
