❤ Tactical Maneuvering in Tight Quarters

The game places you in control of a squad of 3-5 NATO soldiers, tasking you with navigating a grid-based battlefield against a variety of mutated, hostile creatures. Each turn, you must carefully position your units and select their actions, as the enemies employ a wide range of attack patterns and capabilities. Some foes can only strike in the four cardinal directions, while others possess area-of-effect attacks or long-range options. Effectively managing your squad's placement in relation to the enemies' attack vectors becomes crucial to success. You must flank vulnerable targets, take cover from ranged threats, and utilize the environment - such as explosive barrels - to your advantage.

❤ Resource Management

Resources like ammunition and health packs are limited, forcing you to conserve them judiciously. Ammunition, in particular, is scarce, so you must choose your shots wisely and consider melee strikes or environmental hazards to supplement your firepower. This tension-inducing resource management becomes a key strategic pillar, as you balance aggressive actions with the need to preserve your dwindling supplies.

❤ Character Customization

While the RPG mechanics are relatively straightforward, you can still customize your squad's effectiveness in combat. Each soldier has a small set of statistics that improve through level-ups, and you can equip them with an array of weapons, armor, and items that provide various combat bonuses. Optimizing your squad's loadout to counter specific enemy types is an important consideration.

❤ Atmospheric Exploration

The game's environments, rendered with an eerie, unsettling attention to detail, contribute to the overall sense of grim, post-apocalyptic horror. Your exploration of these decaying, shadowy locales is intertwined with the combat, as you may stumble upon hostile creatures or discover useful items and environmental hazards to leverage against your foes.
