Have there been casualties?

Unfortunately, the team can quite easily come under fire from a bunker or armoured vehicle from almost off screen, making traversing terrain extremely dangerous. It’s recommended you bring along heavy weapons and specialist units.

​Yes! I love shooting things! Sign me up!

Woah, hold your horses soldier! There’s a little more to commanding an elite military unit than jumping in half-cocked. You’d do well to listen to the mission briefing.

*sits down*

Very well. What we have here is a twin-stick shooter in which you take command of a group of up to four soldiers, tasked with eliminating the enemy, and occasionally rescuing civilians or friendlies in the AO.

Who’s the commanding officer, sir?

Your team will follow you from mission to mission, providing you keep them alive, and gain ranks - subsequently become tougher to kill - as the not-at-all-generic-looking bad guys attempt to impede our fight for freedom.

How do we requisition these heroes?

Completing missions is rewarded with points, however the specialists can be added to the team for one mission only, and are quite pricey, plus they have to be unlocked in the first place. Weapons and supplies can be picked up on the battlefield, but the control scheme has lead to many regrettable instances of friendly fire.

Would you give us a commendation, sir?

For a novice such as yourself private, you’ll find enjoyment and you’ll find success. A more experienced soldier might be better suited to more tactically diverse and complex challenges, beyond simply cranking up the difficulty, and long for greater control of their unit, who must move as one. Fortunately, Uncle Sam only need spend £9.99 for the privilege of your company.​
