Fun free deck building battle game. Collect cards to develop new strategies. There are solo, team, and other play modes you can choose from. If you ever played Clash Royale you will be familiar. Wish there were more content updates and the progression was less grindy but hopefully that will change.

Early Access Review
This game is ok... Level design is nice with lush jungles and the mechanics are mostly "realistic", except for the ones that are stupidly unrealistic. The AI is ridiculous and will 180 1-tap you from across the map. Once you die you can try to get your stuff, but if you die before then, everything is lost. You'll spend 90% of the game waiting for a chopper, in a chopper, or waiting for your dead teammate to come back to their body (or vice versa) on the chopper.

Oh yea, critical quest items like keys have like 1 in a million drop rates and you'll have to repeatedly farm a single location over and over until maybe you find the key off a dead AI or give up. The devs probably didn't have enough content at launch so they created this sneaky farm-loop experience to slow your progress while they figure out what's next.

At this point, don't waste your money on this unless you like spending the vast majority of your time not even playing the game. Not worth the price and the experience is clearly incomplete.

This game isn't even fun. Unless you intimately known all this D&D stuff, the game doesn't teach you anything and it's overwhelming and confusing. On top of that, it's not even interesting to play. The combat is brutal and overly difficult, even on easy mode. Every interaction you need to quicksave or risk messing up key moments. I've played 20 hours, and feel like I've made no progress. The story seems interesting but I can't even progress enough to enjoy it. Do not understand what the hype is about this game. It straight up sucks overall. Definitely not recommended unless you have 100s of hours to throw away.

Lots of fun! This is a polished production (a few minor bugs) with the best facial animations I've seen in memory that help convey the character connection/development. Great writing and acting, felt like I was in a GOTG movie. One of my favorite things is the consistently funny banter between the team and in the story throughout. Highly recommended!

Really unique and fun game! Arkane are among the best, and deliver again. The level design, story, characters, and action are all well done and entertaining. This game feels fresh. The guns and abilities are varied, and shooting/moving is smooth. About 30 hrs of high quality campaign. Really hope they make a sequel!

This is the best Turn-based Tactical Strategy game I've ever played. It really brings me back to Fallout: Tactics, which introduced me to the genre. Very layered and customizeable gameplay allow you to have a variety of play styles and strategies. The base building aspect is fun and gives me a Fallout Shelter vibe (yes I know FS came out later, but I just played XCOM so poo on you :P).

Overall a very polished game. Firaxis did an awesome job balancing all of the components. Clean graphics, sound, and smooth yet challenging gameplay make this one of my favorite games of all time, and definitely #1 in the genre. GET EEEET BOYS AND GOYLS!!!!!

Telltale never ceases to amaze me. The Walking Dead game series has proven to be some of the most engaging and powerful gameplay I've ever experienced. The harsh and complex story, the deep character development, and the various choices you have as the game progresses really pushes you to make difficult decisions that almost always have you second-guessing yourself. The clean cell-shaded graphics are a great touch and contribute to the comic book feel. Voice acting is fantastic. Gameplay is simple and straight-forward, mainly involving point-and-click interaction with some time-based decision making. Don't expect an action-packed game, although there are intense moments. This game is more like a guided story that you participate in, but is largely about absorbing the stuggles of the characters.

Absolutely fantastic! One of the most emotionally gripping and immersive stories in any game I've ever played. Wasn't expecting much before I started, but I was so pleasantly surprised. Probably the best character development I've seen ever. Whether you like adventure games or not (or even Walking Dead for that matter), this is an amazing game.

Most fun tower defense game I've played since Defense Grid. Add in the action element, and it becomes even more fun and unique. Probably my favorite TD game ever now.
