Katja's Abyss: Tactics

Minesweeper meets Advance Wars It's a charming little strategy game, where you need to plan accordingly to progress through the caves while dealing with what comes your way. The tutorial might be a bit confusing at first, but once you get a hang of the commands of each unit, the game is a breeze to finish. Specially once you figure out the optimal digging strategy. (Wink wink) 6.5/10, dig it up on a sale

This is a really solid game. Minesweeper puzzle at the edge of your territory will help lead your way, but the game also lets you buy a scanner unit to resolve any potential 50/50 guesses, and a defuser to break through mines if you need extra space to move units. Most levels are won through economy (get 150 points of energy), so you're incentivised to keep your fleet small. I will say that the enemies aren't too challenging (after 4 hours of play), and half the challenge is manoeuvring as the units can't pass through each other, but it's a satisfying game still. This game definitely doesn't deserve to be forgotten in the depths of Steam, and I'm glad I bought it!

Katja's Abyss is a very unusual combination of tactical RPG and puzzle. It takes some time to get the hang of the strategy, but it is well worth it.
