Featuring 80 playable characters and over 150 unique items and weapons, the game challenges players to defeat enemies by commanding customizable ground teams from their Helibase-gunship overhead. Players can indulge in a variety of scenarios across over 30 different maps, and the sandbox-style mechanics allows users to approach the maps according to their play style. Key Features Build and command your own 1-5-member heliborne task force. Choose from over 80 playable characters with unique personalities and strengths, and equip their 1-3 inventory slots with countless weapon and item combinations. Choreograph your team’s actions in real time with a dynamic drag-control system or manually micromanage units! Defend the Helibase, and protect your team from above with miniguns, autocannons, and more. Manage your team’s mental health. Keep your squad topped up with happy pills, or deploy emotionless combat droids. Protect your task force from contamination, or watch them erupt into even more strain. Level up your units, and revive fallen team members by body-bagging (or selling their corpses for points). Travel to over 30 unique maps with various scenarios including Hunter-Killer, Escort, Retrieval, Perimeter Defence, and more.

No biggie. I’d like to hear some impressions. Looks deep. Maybe too deep for my liking. But also wonder with the interfaces shown whether it works well on an iPhone vs an iPad. L.Lawliet Well-Known Member Jun 28, 2011 6,405 420 83 #3 L.Lawliet, Nov 1, 2017 The depth of this game looks awesome. That's actually the part that makes me want to buy it. Unfortunately I've already spent like $200 on iTunes last month so no more games for me :\ anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,125 703 113 #4 anthony78, Nov 1, 2017 I hear ya. I havent spent as much as you but quite a bit more than I should be. This game does look intriguing but would like to hear more about how it plays. Dailon80 Well-Known Member Nov 10, 2014 3,574 66 48 Program Director/Radio DJ Eos #5 Dailon80, Nov 1, 2017 Sounds a lot like XCOM The images look like a good deep strategy game I’m gonna go see if I can hunt down a gameplay video for more but I am intrigued for sure At least it appears to take up less space than XCOM Dailon80 Well-Known Member Nov 10, 2014 3,574 66 48 Program Director/Radio DJ Eos #6 Dailon80, Nov 1, 2017 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cDuQz3SUGs Here is a review video from the Steam version samcss Member Aug 24, 2016 23 0 0 #7 samcss, Nov 1, 2017 i shall support touch dimension when autumn dynasty is upgraded to 64 bits.... jsrco Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Oct 15, 2009 2,134 1 38 Coordinator Seattle https://www.Fatthunder.com #8 jsrco, Nov 1, 2017 Hard time getting into this. Just to much going on for a phone. Some people may love that, but it has crazy depth and it controls pretty well considering what you are trying to do. Just way to much for me to focus on when I get to the point of playing games. HotHamBoy Well-Known Member Feb 1, 2015 204 4 16 #9 HotHamBoy, Nov 1, 2017 But the key difference is that this game is real-time where XCOM is turn-based. Also, I'm not seeing any mentions of procedurally generated missions or permadeath. Dailon80 Well-Known Member Nov 10, 2014 3,574 66 48 Program Director/Radio DJ Eos #10 Dailon80, Nov 1, 2017 Good point thanks and XCOM takes up massive space on my phone Love the game it just is so huge of a file ha Talbs Well-Known Member May 1, 2011 2,615 377 83 #11 Talbs, Nov 1, 2017 This gets some really good praise on steam. The only complaints seem to be about controls and how they seem to be for touch screens. Well that's just great for us! http://store.steampowered.com/app/621810/Strain_Tactics/ Really loving that we're getting these ports from steam. anthony78 Well-Known Member Nov 13, 2015 3,125 703 113 #12 anthony78, Nov 1, 2017 I think this was actual a mobile game ported to Steam. Just released there first for whatever reason. That said, I worry about the controls being too much for a small screen. Probably better on an iPad. TheVimFuego Well-Known Member Dec 7, 2014 255 6 18 #13 TheVimFuego, Nov 2, 2017 Looks great, love a bit of depth. It's going to fit very well on the iPad Pro I'm picking up next week. Current pro has a hardware fault and is bricked so that's going to slow down my app buying a touch ... My only concern is this might be trying to do too much but I admire ambition in games. Xcxc Well-Known Member Apr 26, 2017 129 0 0 #14 Xcxc, Nov 2, 2017 is this like DoorKickers? each mission is a stand alone and there is no campaign/story? Preddy New Member Oct 1, 2017 2 0 1 #15 Preddy, Nov 2, 2017 Has anyone played this on a small device?? I have an iphone 7 plus and I really want to pick this up but I'm not sure how its gonna be like on a small screen. Simoqsa Well-Known Member May 21, 2015 95 9 8 #16 Simoqsa, Nov 2, 2017 I love shooters, I'll give it a try. Quoad Well-Known Member Apr 17, 2015 1,108 217 63 #17 Quoad, Nov 2, 2017 Instabought after reading steam reviews. Spent an hour playing on a train. On a 6+. Tremendously deep. Doorkickers pathfinding, but with a vast array of weaponry and classes. Spent half an hour kitting out my crew for mission 2 which was, in retrospect, overkill. (Mission took three mins.) A bit nuts. But I'm really liking it.

Lanster27 Well-Known Member Apr 20, 2017 65 10 8 #20 Lanster27, Nov 3, 2017 Great to know. How about the gameplay, from the screenshot it looks too much to do once the action starts.

Sounds a lot like XCOM The images look like a good deep strategy game I’m gonna go see if I can hunt down a gameplay video for more but I am intrigued for sure At least it appears to take up less space than XCOM
