❤ Gameplay Overview

The player leads a small force of Ukrainian units, consisting of infantry, tanks, and artillery, against a relentless onslaught of Russian invaders. Your goal is to destroy as many enemies as possible before being forced to retreat. Defeating enemies grants "Glory" points, which you can use to upgrade your units and unlock new ones.

❤ Intuitive Yet Deep Combat System

The turn-based combat system allows you to move, attack, and then it's the enemy's turn. However, the game introduces a unique twist - you can pick up action points from fallen enemies, enabling you to chain multiple actions together in a single turn. This grants you the initiative and potentially allows you to wipe out the entire enemy force at once.

❤ Stratagems and Unit Customization

The game features "Stratagems" - special abilities that can alter the course of battle. For example, you can call in precision drone strikes, disrupt enemy supply lines, or even modify core gameplay mechanics to outsmart your opponents. Combining these Stratagems with your unit upgrades and army composition creates a satisfying level of strategic depth.

❤ Terrain and Environmental Interactions

The terrain plays a crucial role in your tactical decisions. Forests can be driven through by tanks, granting them cover, while infantry can garrison buildings, with the structures taking damage instead of the units. However, the buildings have limited health, and once destroyed, the infantry is left exposed. Navigating these environmental interactions is key to your success.

❤ Capturing and Holding Objectives

Capturing and holding Russian outposts scattered across the map is another objective. Capturing an outpost requires leaving a unit unprotected for two turns, adding an extra tactical challenge to balance.

❤ Replayability and Progression

While the game features a single, randomly generated map, the different unit compositions, upgrades, and Stratagems available provide a good degree of replayability. The progression system, where you can gradually improve your forces, encourages repeated attempts to achieve higher scores and unlock new strategies.
