Tyrannis: Co-Prosperity

Tyrannis: Co-Prosperity is the sequel to the 2020 game 'Tyrannis', a game about fighting/waging a guerrilla warfare in the South-Eastern parts of Asia. As it was the case with the previous title, the background consists of an alternate history scenario in which the US has been divided between different mercenary companies and rebel groups;something similar has happened to SE Asia as well(Though I am not sure when exactly does it take place, from what I can see it takes place after 1984,at least in the first game). [u] The good[/u] [list] [*]the setting has potential for further speculation [*]the perspective of guerrilla warfare creates a fun loop(refreshing after hundreds of games with symmetric warfare) [*]the newly added campaign(based of Reconquista from the original title) creates a grander scheme of things [*] the retro wireframe computer art style is clear and helps with the immersion [/list] [u] The bad [/u] [list] [*]the soundtrack,though dramatic and good in some moments,is not as diverse and touching as the one from the previous game [*]the UI is still awkward to use;it relies on too many button presses and the map could benefit from a zoom in/out feature(especially since the maps are big) [/list] [u] Suggestions [/u] [list] [*]bring back AI allies,but with better AI(so they can actually help,instead of being defeated in the first turns) [*]diversify the soundtrack,or at least add some songs from the old one [*]use sliders instead of button prompts for some of the menus(the Volume menu for example) [*]add a system of in-game events in order to make the game more interesting(there could be lore events,gameplay ones or both) [*]add a terrain system which can influence the outcome of a combat(together with a terrain map mode) [*]add a modding system which can extend the game's life further and enhance it(though,I understand that this part can be complicated) [/list] Overall,Tyrannis is a small,but interesting strategy game that occupies a certain niche of Cold War aesthetic asymmetric warfare games(a mix which unfortunately is rarely seen).Despite the fact I don't have many hours in the game,I hope that my feedback could be helpful.
