It's rough. A ways off from the level it could be but, it's still a really cool game imo, and has a feature set I've been really dying to see in a game. But it crashes a fair bit and has bugs. The GOOD: Really cool feature sets that basically let you run your own GWOT. similar to a mount and blade over world, you have an aircraft carrier that you can navigate around, and find target you want to hit. Theres also a fairly simple simulated economy of the fake country your operating in, and more stability to the economy means they can afford more security, which also helps you win the war. It's like the old breach and clear games but with A LOT more inspiration from the more modern Door Kickers series, with the troop movement and stuff. I'm really impressed with how many different things Applesauce incorporated here. Then there's all the different management stuff, training your guys, hiring on new people (permadeath for them too), purchasing equipment for them, upgrading the boat, upgrading your helicopter, researching gear, finding targets, and maybe more. None of it is very in depth, but there just so much that it really does help get you wrapped up in the campaign and adds an XCOM style of depth. The BAD: Animations are pretty janky, the graphics are quite low quality (not that graphics matter THAT much) but worst of all, is the controls, which are fairly buggy. Sometimes your character wont move and you need to unselect then reselect them to issue a command they'll respond to. And the path markers get SUPER cluttered, making it really hard to make precise runs effeciently. The game world also doesn't seem all the large, only a few points of interest on it. And then there's the crashing which f'd me over a few times, losing a fair bit of campaign progress. Always seems to happen on the campaign map. The MEAT AND POTATOES: If you like Door Kickers, and like me, have always wished it had a deeper campaign mode, this can give you a pretty good taste of it.. but its not nearly as polished as DK. It does feel like an early access title, with very basic menus and UI, and an experience that feels like a first version, waiting for more content or DLC, but sadly, I highly doubt anything is coming (seems ultra dead, which is a shame). But, still well worth the 10$ price tag imo, and I think its a hidden gem in the milsim/tactics game genre, that if nothing else has some really unique campaign mechanics I'd love to see adopted in other games in the future. And as a game made by one person (I think), it's a pretty awesome project.

Before playing any game the first thing I do is go into the settings and pick the graphical settings I prefer. This game does not allow me to change resolution, it defaults to the lowest resolution possible. If I scroll the resolutions and use apply or confirm all that happens is the game screen flashes and then when I check the settings im back on some old gameboy like resolution. I get that graphically the game is not amazing looking and I am fine with that, but why it wont allow me to increase my screen resolution is beyond me. It has the options in game, it just simply will not lock any of them in when I apply them. I wont refund the game as from the screenshots/reviews it sounds like a single Developer has built something cool and I want to support that, but not being able to change the screen resolution kills it for me before I even get started :(
In concept, this game is everything I want in a tactical military shooter. In execution, this game is absolutely unplayable. I've requested a refund and will revisit when its in an improved state. I commend the work effort of a single developer, but this should not have been released at this stage.
Great game, honestly lots of fun and potential to really be polished into something memorable. Would recommend, however be warned the game crashes frequently later in the game.
Before playing this game what I expected from this game was an intense CQB game similar to door kicker, ready or not, but the slow fire rate of the weapons resulted in a long TTK which made the CQB aspect rather uninteresting. I took the entry from the door of the room as an example. Why did the two sides exchange fire for several seconds? Shouldn't we settle the fight in 1 second? So why should I draw a battle plan? Wouldn't it be faster to just let my troops walk in all together and shove the barrels into the enemy's mouth?
One man dev who clearly cares about what hes making, buy this game. I stan this man
Great little game to kill time on. For a single dev game I think its great for what it is. Its not perfect but a great game to pick up whenever you have downtime.
990원에 사도 아까운 게임. 수풀, 나무 하나 없는 땅에서 얘들만 덩그러니 두고 "적 다 섬멸해라~" 하는 게임. 심지어 대략적인 위치도 안나와 카메라를 이리저리 굴리며 찾아야 함;; 그래서 남은 컨텐츠는 얘들 꾸미는 것밖에 없는데 그것도 다른 게임들에 비해 한창 모자람. 어느 정도냐면, 이것보다 쥬니버네이버에서 옷 꾸미기 하는게 더 재미있을 정도. 솔직히 환불하고 싶은데 이 게임을 살 당시에는 환불하는 방법을 몰라서 못함. 지금도 땅을 치고 후회함. 이 게임 할거 진짜 없으니까, 제발 사지 말고 돈 아껴라. 이거보다 더 좋은 게임들 많다.
Game is fun to play and offers a good challenge, had some trouble running it smoothly but the Dev helped me fix it instantly!
It's a bit like Door Kickers, with what seems like more management detail which is great. The graphics and sound are worse but that's fine. Unfortunately when you're in an actual battle the controls are a lot more clunky and less intuitive, and the camera angles are terrible - IMO using an isometric instead of top down view hurts this game a lot, and you can't see the insides of buildings even when your troops are inside a building. I'm not talking about detail but about general layout. I wouldn't list this game as unplayable like some of the other reviews but the battles certainly feel unpleasant. I don't consider the package to be worthwhile.
