❤ Tactical Turn-Based Combat

The turn-based combat system offers depth and challenge. Players can move and act with each of their 4 unique squad members, utilizing a variety of weapons, skills, and environmental elements to outmaneuver and eliminate the swarming rat hordes. Reviewers praise the system's emphasis on tactical positioning, such as flanking and overwatch, which becomes increasingly crucial as the difficulty ramps up with more varied and dangerous enemy types.

❤ Escape-Focused Objectives

Rather than eliminating all enemies, the objective is to escape the combat zone safely. Reviewers highlight how this design creates a strong sense of urgency and tension, as players must balance aggressive resource-securing maneuvers with the need to constantly retreat towards the extraction point before becoming overwhelmed. This encourages bold, risky plays and meaningful sacrifices, leading to dramatic "just-in-time" moments where players narrowly secure victory.

❤ Progression and Resource Management

Between missions, players can manage their squad's equipment, abilities, and resources. Scavenged items and components can be used to craft and upgrade weapons, armor, and gear, allowing for customization of the squad's capabilities. Reviewers praise how this progression system, combined with the game's roguelike structure, creates a compelling loop of risk and reward, as players must weigh the potential benefits of risky detours and looting against the danger of being overwhelmed.

❤ Character Variety and Synergy

Reviewers highlight the diverse cast of playable characters, each with their own unique abilities, weapons, and playstyles. From melee-focused swordsmen to long-range snipers to support-oriented medics, the varied character classes encourage experimentation with different squad compositions and the discovery of powerful synergies. Combining complementary abilities can lead to devastating combos that turn the tide of battle, adding depth to the tactical combat.
