❤ Diverse Unit Roster Encourages Strategic Experimentation

The game features over 23 unique unit types, each with their own specialized capabilities. This diverse selection encourages players to experiment with different unit compositions and synergies. For example, players can leverage the long-range firepower of Snipers to support the close-range Mecha units, or use Transport vehicles to resupply and redeploy other units across the battlefield.

❤ Tactical Depth Through Mechanics Like Focus Fire and Unit Merging

The game's core mechanics add layers of strategic depth. The Focus Fire mechanic allows players to coordinate multiple units' attacks on a single target for increased damage. Additionally, the ability to merge similar units to combine their hit points creates tough decisions, as players must weigh the benefits of keeping units independent versus merging them for added survivability.

❤ Impactful Commander Powers Shift the Tide of Battle

Each of the game's 11 unique commanders has access to special abilities called Commander Powers. These powers, which range from stat boosts to devastating area-of-effect attacks, can dramatically alter the course of a battle when used at the right moment. The interplay between the player's and the enemy's Commander Powers adds an exciting and unpredictable strategic element.

❤ Challenging AI and Replayable Skirmish Mode

The campaign presents players with a robust selection of handcrafted scenarios, each offering unique challenges and objectives. The AI has been praised for its intelligent use of tactics, such as Focus Fire and Commander Powers, making it a formidable opponent. Beyond the campaign, the game's Skirmish mode features a large and diverse selection of maps, allowing players to customize the AI's commander and starting position, as well as the game's difficulty, for increased replayability.
