I'm watching you.

I've never been very good at the combat. But, I still adore the story and characters.

The combat is mostly just paying attention Imo, but there are a couple levels where you kind of have to "Game" the game. Like, after losing a mission, restarting and putting your troops in the perfect position to beat something that spawns after you meet a certain condition.

Mostly though, it's "Murder everything because the scout challenge was easy and now I have an OP gun! Mwua-ha-ha-ha-ha!"
