I tried really, really hard to like this game. I love the aesthetic they have going and the general premise of the game. The UI is generally understandable and... you know what, I was going to go into what I liked in game play, but then the hurdles and rage-inducing mechanics keep coming up in my mind, So I guess I can only say is that the game looks nice.

As for the negatives... well, I can see what the game was trying to do and it ends up fumbling in execution in every way. I'll list them off point by point.

1: The first few missions have you fight with pretty much every soldier you can muster from the last mission you fought. At first, I thought it was great that there was no real headcount limit. This is actually a lie and I'm pretty sure was a deliberate tactic to lure you in before hitting you with the bull. After a few missions, you only get to send a few in, and there is almost no way to send in reinforcements after your original soldiers get killed, save for completely unrelated reinforcements given to you for story reasons. Have a squad reduced to 1 soldier and need them to get out? Welp, your only option is to put them in a corner, pray they don't get killed, and have the rest of the army fight at reduced capacity for it.

2: Squad survivability is abysmal and the random number generator that determines damage is particularly cruel. A stray shot can take out a member of a squad at anytime, and the ballistics of a weapon can travel beyond what the maximum range says it is. I've seen a few stray shots from an auto-cannon kill several people in an armoured car, and then destroy my fuel truck sitting a dozen so metres behind said car. Reality of war, right? Well, as mentioned above, you can't call in your own reinforcements unless the game gives them to you, and if they don't, you're out of luck. There's a particular unit you get called the ATGM. If you lose him, you might as well restart, as they are the only reliable way for the first mission or two to take out enemy tanks, which the game will throw at you a lot. RPG's are almost useless. I once ambushed a legion tank with two squads of RPG's at point blank range. Didn't even damage it.

3: Ammo and Fuel are badly implemented. Fuel might as well not exist. Outside of story moments and scripted events, you will never be driving your vehicles around enough for fuel to matter. Ammo is a bit more complicated. I get the idea of the scavenger type that needs to get ammo for the heavy stuff, but one thing that becomes apparent quickly is that you are outnumbered constantly. Your forces will be fighting all the time, which puts a strain on your ammo. You will need to pull your forces back to resupply, which slows you down, and lets the enemy send more waves of troops at you. Also, your troops can miss, even at point blank, and some of the heavier ammo types have very few shots. The ATGM guys? They have four missiles, and I've seen them miss or not do enough damage that they have to retreat to get more. I can't bring the ammo truck up the them because guess what, the thing they were shooting those missiles at will most likely blow up the truck.

4: All of the above could be bearable alone, as a niche annoyance, but when they are combined they turn the game into a rage-inducing hell. It goes like this; you have a limited number of troops sent with you in the mission, so you have to be pretty slow and conservative in your movements. Any wrong move or a lucky shot can end your squads very easily. Get some casualties, you have no means to replace them in-mission apart from some unrelated story-sequences. You now have less soldiers, so you need to be even more careful and slow, which means the endless re-spawning enemies send more at you, further risking depleting your troops from more lucky shots. Eventually, your reduced soldiers start running out of ammo, forcing you to reposition, lose some more troops to a lucky shot, and then give up and restart.

This game is quicksave-quickload central. A single mistake can easily death-spiral with no real way of recovering. When that happens, you might as well restart. I found myself literally saving after every skirmish, then loading as soon as I lost someone, because the game just doesn't allow you to replace them mid-mission. Something as simple as being allowed to retreat squads and send in more from your pool of reserves, who would be useless otherwise, would make this so much bearable.

The thing that actually made me rage-quit and write this review isn't really that related to the above points. This is what happened.
I had a bunch of light vehicles acting as a screen, slowly advancing on legion forces. One of which was a Bradley IFV, a pretty good find that early in the game. Well, I was just getting into contact with enemy forces when a cut-scene kicked in a took away control. It panned over to some other part of the map for about twenty seconds to show me something happening. When it panned back, the Bradley, which I had started to order forward before the cut-scene, had drove up to some legion plasma-apc thing and I had just enough time to see it blow up.

Suffice to say, games for decades have understood that you're supposed to freeze the game or give some sort of invulnerability to player units when taking control away from them, specifically so that that doesn't happen (outside of story-scenes, of course). The fact that this game, made last year, doesn't seem to get that was the last rage-inducing straw. While I don't think this game is bad, it is far, far too flawed to be enjoyable for me. Which is a shame, because I do get the impression the developers tried to make a game here. This isn't some meaningless cash grab on a franchise. Hopefully they can do better on whatever games they do next.

Overall a really great game nothing bad to say about it for me. The only thing I hope to see in the future is the ability of a New Game Plus so that you can some more personal challenges like maybe Snipers only.

i removed it from my account. i had about a quarter of the hours shown as actual gameplay. mostly from playing on ironman and the game being so broken it will just make you lose arbitraily, especially in new tortuga. i was so angry playing this game, more than any other game before. i actually wished brutal torture upon the devs for releasing and even making an expansion to a game that is essentially unplayable past easy difficulty due to bugs, not difficulty. i decided to remove the game from my account to save my own sanity. i hope slytherin sucks a fatty. they are such a strange company. the best game they made was battlestar galactica, and that was a reskin of a differnt game... every other game is just a low to mid level game of a big I.P. eff them

definitely not recommended game

Love the game. It's challenging and interesting.

It delivers exactly what a game in this universe should: challenging missions, tactical depth, and moments of pure heroism. Every mission feels meticulously crafted, pushing you to plan every move with care. Yes, it’s hard, but the kind of hard that rewards thought, precision, and adaptability.

The pathfinding gave me a bit of trouble in two missions, but beyond that, the controls worked flawlessly. Micromanagement is a big part of the experience, and while it demands focus, it also pays off immensely. I managed to lose only one unit across the entire campaign—sacrificed knowingly in the final mission. Because really, can you even call it a Terminator game if it doesn’t end with at least one heroic last stand?

The visuals are fantastic, and the units are more than just tools; you genuinely grow attached to them. Watching your squads get promoted after a hard-fought mission is one of those small joys that makes every victory even sweeter. It’s a game that exceeded all my expectations, and I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who loves tactical strategy games or the Terminator franchise.

Challenging and Fun
