Fun turn-based roguelike with the prime gimmick being that you can see exactly what the enemy is going to do the coming turn; it's your job to prevent these ginormous Kaiju insects from doing their shenanigans. How you ask? With some giant mechs and time-traveling pilots, of course!

GOODS
+ Solid gameplay. Clear instructions and easy to get into. (though not easy to excel)
+ Graphic-and Sound design are on-point. The vibe is great, works well as a "relaxing snack" game.
+ Your choices for mechs, weapons and pilots expands as you complete achievements which are specific for each different squad. This makes completing them way more fun, as they're tailored to those specific squads so you don't get stuff like "Grind 100 kiils" which I dislike.
+ A real challenge for you smartypants strategy gamers, especially on higher difficulties.
+ You can see what missions and rewards are available to you beforehand so it's up to you to make tactical decisions. Go for easier missions for a guaranteed reward? Or go high risk so you can be stronger for the endgame? Decisions, decisions.
+ With what little dialogue and plot there is, they still manage to breathe quite a bit of intrigue and character into the experience. Something I found very effective is the unseen citizens you're saving actually having emotional reactions to humanise them, very smart.
+Mixing and matching your own Mech squads and pilots after you've unlocked them is good fun, and gives plenty replay value.
+ The roguelike-part comes into play with the varying missions, objectives, pilots and other rewards you find along the way. The longer you play; the more rewards... but the game also cranks of the difficulty for each section completed!

NOT-SO-GOODS
- A relative common complaint is that the game is "impossible". Clearly it isn't; but it does attest to the rather jarring difficulty spike it has between early in a run and nearing the end. AND between Easy and the higher difficulties. You have three units, all capable of moving and attacking once per turn but your enemies are far higher in number, easily overwhelming you. After a while you learn it's not about killing all the bugs but instead just preventing them from you going game over before the turns are up. Using pushes and pulls creatively is critical, and learning this is paramount to further enjoying the game. Don't get angry! Get smart!
- Similarly: Fully completing a Normal difficulty run with some of the squads is a rarity instead of a guarantee. So not for the sore losers among us. Part of this is intentional. A cynical view of time travel where you can infinitely "retry" with a lot of lost worlds in your wake is part of the bigger scope plot. Cool? Sure. Fun? Maybe not.
- I find the lack of overarching rewards aside form pilots and squads a bit meagre. It seems if there was more opportunity for "passive" upgrades the higher difficulties wouldn't seem near as daunting. Maybe an idea for the sequel?
- There's quite a bit of Mech and Pilot imbalance with clear top tiers and the bottom-feeders. I guess this is part to give more variety between runs but I do feel some pilots are especially useless.
- There are also some missions you basically always want to avoid (protect the old train) and missions which are nearly always a win (Destroy mountains with an OP acid sprayer) so a bit more nuance in those might be in order.
- OST is meager. The music is good, but it get droning and repetitive pretty quickly. I recommend playing your own tunes after a while.

So that's about it. It's pretty clear-cut: difficult but fun. This is one of those games that can make you feel either really smart or really stupid at different times. Basically a solid-strategy game and a great challenge for people who are looking for one.
I'd say it's worth it full price but it never hurts to wait a bit as it goes on sale often.

Thank you very much for reading and if you have any questions be sure to leave a comment.
