I think I might love this game. Only buy it on big sale though.
Yes, it is not good. It is the very definition of Jank. But the story was pretty good, one of the antagonists goes on about American Baseball, and once you figure out to play Left Alive like Left Alive and not like Metal Gear Solid, it starts to get fun. Better the deeper you get. Though it never stops feeling rushed. I spent a lot of my play time on my first run trying to figure out what the devs wanted this to be. Metal Gear? No, the stealth isn't deep enough for that. Maybe a Survival Horror game with no monsters and instead an invading army? That would be dope but there are straight up Mech Battles and Defend the Base missions.
Ultimately, I don't understand how it ended up as Janky and rushed as it is with the pedigree of creative talent behind it, and its truly a missed opportunity to create something really cool if it had been given the time it needed to be properly made.
The Mech Battles are fun if frustrating because your mech is as easy to kill as the enemy mechs. You cycle through three characters, all of whom I like.
If you can like Jank from time to time and it goes on sale for like $15 or so, grab it, give it a go.
I'm going to beat it at least one more time, I think. Its a shame its a flop and I won't get to see these characters in something actually polished.

EDIT - You can turn off the World of Tanks promotions by disabling the WoT DLC in steam
