I had access to the full game so I can tell you the campaigns are great and survival is a lot of fun.

Talbs Well-Known Member May 1, 2011 2,616 377 83 #7 Talbs, Jul 22, 2015 Is there offline play with AI? The "online" bit in the title doesn't make it sound like there is. dreadnok Well-Known Member Jun 8, 2011 4,157 7 38 I came here to kick ass and chew bubble gum I'm ou #8 dreadnok, Jul 23, 2015 The offline is the campaign and survival which is against AI L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #9 L.Lawliet, Jul 23, 2015 If there's optional offline mode I'm down to try it out. The gameplay videos look fun. I do feel like this game would be even more popular with upgraded graphics. These aren't terrible but it'll inevitably be compared to games like Breach and Clear and Door Kickers. Grimstone82 Well-Known Member Jan 3, 2011 594 0 0 Northbrook, IL #10 Grimstone82, Jul 23, 2015 Only got to play through a chunk of the tutorial and so far it seems pretty damn awesome. This is the first time I've played a tactical game like this, I'm assuming the game play is similar to Frozen Synapse (which also I've never played) where you plot your moves for each character and execute them and just watch it play out. I have a feeling I'm going to be spending a lot of time with this one.

It was built from the ground up as a new formula in tactical-action with awesome Single Player and Multiplayer Modes. The Single Player comprises of a Campaign in which you are the tactical overwatch of a private corporation's squad. The corporation doesn't really have the best intentions..but who cares, you're paid to get the job done . There's lots of variety in the missions from Takedown missions which are puzzle-like to Defense missions which are like a dynamic tower defense on crack. Additionally, there are hostage saving and escort missions to round out the experience. More campaign missions will be added with the Pro Pack #1. There's also a Survival mode which you must defuse a randomly placed bomb with each round becoming harder with more enemies. There are also challenges to add additional bonuses. Multiplayer is a super balanced and intense mode that uses bomb plant and defuse objectives on carefully designed maps. The matches usually last around 7 min with 50 second turns. The controls are well designed and easy to use such that it's easy to complete your whole turn in 50 seconds. Novel gameplay mechanics revolve around the classes, weapon balance, hit reactions and boosters. They open up a whole new formula of gameplay that moves away from one shot insta-kills to decision making after being hit and what to do to get into a battle and get out of one. Boosters such as armor allow you to gain more intel on what class setup and location of the opponent without dying. The Speed booster allows you to get into and out of a skirmish. New custom weapons are being added very soon. The update is already complete. You will earn Gold from winning online and Survival which you can purchase crates to get new weapons with cool attachments such as silencers and forgrips and thus opening up even more ways to play. For more info, check out our website and follow us on Twitter Site Twitter and Check out TheGameHuntah Youtube commentary of some matches and interview with me (the dev) Also, let me know if you are experiencing disconnects. I have two different networking backends and would like to know of the reliability. THANK YOU ALL L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #12 L.Lawliet, Jul 23, 2015 I'm really loving the game! I'm glad it fits on an iPhone, which many of these types of games don't. Gameplay is quick and smooth once you get the hang of it. I know it's called online but I hope you guys add more solo content (or even solo stats since the stats only show MP). I'd rather take my time and plan / play rather than fight PvP but that's my personal preference. GameHopper Well-Known Member Apr 16, 2015 68 0 0 #13 GameHopper, Jul 23, 2015 definitely more Campaign will be included to the Pro Pack #1. Missions that finish the first part of the story in Rail and Rush . Taking the time to add even more type of missions so hold tight! Custom weapon add-on coming really soon.

I was just asking for future content since I know the game seems to focus on MP. I'm going through the campaign now.. I probably won't even touch MP, at least not for a long time. Thanks for the reply dev! I hope your game gets some great reviews GameHopper Well-Known Member Apr 16, 2015 68 0 0 #16 GameHopper, Jul 23, 2015 your signature says "VainGlory", I would hope you try it out! . Yup more Campaign will be added to Pro Pack #1. You can earn Gold in single player via Survival if you don't want to via MP.
