❤ The Bravado System Encourages Aggressive Plays

The core gameplay mechanic is the "Bravado" system, which immediately refunds all action points to a character after they kill an enemy. This creates a powerful incentive to chain together kills, as players can continue moving and attacking if they can eliminate foes in quick succession. Reviewers praise how this system drives a fast-paced, reactive playstyle, rewarding careful positioning and planning to set up devastating attack sequences. Rather than playing cautiously, the Bravado system encourages players to solve each combat encounter as a puzzle, finding creative ways to maximize their actions through aggressive tactics.

❤ Luck and Precision Shooting Mitigate Randomness

Another key mechanic is the "Luck" system, which grants players Luck points whenever they miss an attack. These Luck points can then get spent to guarantee a hit, helping to mitigate the randomness of combat. Combined with the ability to ricochet bullets off environmental objects, reviewers highlight how this system gives players more control over the outcome of encounters. Rather than relying heavily on dice rolls, the Luck mechanics encourage a more precision-focused playstyle, rewarding players who take the time to line up high-percentage shots.

❤ In-Depth Character Customization Offers Build Diversity

Character progression in the game revolves around a unique card-based system. As players progress, they collect a deck of poker-themed cards that can get assigned to their four-character squad, granting new abilities and passive bonuses. Reviewers praise the depth this card system adds, as players must carefully consider how to build synergies between their party members. With six playable characters, each with distinct card abilities and playstyles, the customization encourages experimentation to find the optimal team composition.

❤ Varied Missions Provide Replayability

While some reviewers felt the mission design could occasionally feel "puzzle-like," most praise the variety and challenge of the encounters. The inclusion of optional objectives and the ability to approach each mission in different ways contribute to the game's replayability, as players can experiment with new strategies and squad compositions. Notably, reviewers highlight that even on the highest difficulty, the lack of severe penalties for failure allows players to learn from their mistakes without feeling overly frustrated.
