The game is very realistic, i can send under age children to fight a war.

TLDR: Tactical SRPG with Third person and first person character control.

Pros:
- Lots of Characters to choose from for your squad
- Order System (Squad Buffing system)
- Small interactions between Squad members
- Fully voice acted
- Unique gameplay to this franchise
- Grey morality for the story with not much right or wrong choices
- Qols improvement over the first game

Neutral:
- Orders IMO are really strong like the defense buff. Makes damage almost Trivial
- Even with the quick animations on enemies turn, Still feels a little bit slow. (At least they tried to address it)
- Enemy Reinforcement (Yes I know ambush exist but feels bad getting a failed mission due to this with the lack of a rewind feature)

♥♥♥♥:
- Small bugs or hit box issues (Bloody radiator hitbox)
- No autosave feature. Failing a Mission towards the end, means restarting the whole stage
- RNG on dodging bullets
- I feel story is abit weaker than VC1


Overall still enjoyable. It has engaging gameplay but I prefer the story and characters of the first game.

7/10

Recently finished this game, It's very worth it I used way too many Grenadiers since you can remove someone far away from the map in your general direction.

P.S Kai's arse is a bloody distraction, it's smoother than a damn fresh jar of skippy.
