About
You are not the hero. You are in charge.
In Acceptable Losses, you are the officer behind the line. You make the calls. You assign the missions. You sign the forms while your men bleed for inches of mud.
Each day brings new orders. Send squads on patrols, trench repairs, wiring parties, or assaults.
At night, face the paperwork. Read incident reports. Review medical updates. Scan intelligence briefings. Hope reinforcements arrive on time.
Balance your duty to HQ with the lives of the men under your command. Survive twenty days. That is all they ask. Perform well and gain influence to tilt conditions to your favor. Perform poorly and they take them back.
Deliver acceptable results and you may be ordered Over the Top. Survive the assault and you will be tasked with holding the captured trenches until replacements arrive. Fail, and you will be held responsible.

The squad management in Acceptable Losses is elegantly streamlined yet relentlessly tense. Combined with an evocative art direction, the game grounds you entirely in its bleak reality. Those frustrated by the unforgiving RNG, you are missing the point. War offers no guarantees. You can meticulously stack the odds in your favor through smart tactical decisions, but absolute certainty is a luxury you never get. That inherent unpredictability isn't a mechanical flaw, it is the exact experience the game is trying to convey. Step in and experience it yourself.
definetly the good characteristics outweight the bad ones, the only problems i see so far is the lack of content ,rng and repetitiveness, but thats acceptable due that the game just came out. when the game starts getting periodic updates i can see it going from a decent game that you can play for a few hours to a good game you can see yourself playing regulary

really fun, theres a ton of different ways the game can play out, but more endings or options would be good
Absolutely needs an endless mode, but for 4 pound I am enjoying it. As for performance basically you can run it on anything.
More than I expected from this game, genuinely enjoyed it. It doesn't last long, but for the price point it's listed at, I'm happy with it. Likely to go back and replay it in the future.
A very interesting design, well executed. Doesn't take long to finish a "tour" but but it's only eight bucks. There are never enough men for the jobs that need doing. Every casualty hurts. Command has too many demands for the squads you have available. The best you can do is pick the best men for the job and hope they succeed. Good command experience.
I enjoyed the game very much! A mix between 2D management and gambling with lives. It has a high learning curve, with no guarantees. Your soldiers will try their best, but the best might not be enough. -If you are looking for another “make numbers go up”, this one might not be it. -If you are not afraid of scratching a few names into the table, I can warmy recommend this one! Or just try out the demo, its free!
Very good. I wish it was longer but it is pretty replayable. I hope they expand upon the game becaus it has a very solid base. Well worth a try!
Good game for $5 if you expect a $5 game
it's good, but i have to give it a negative review because it is too short and too random This game is one of those snowball effect games, if you get ahead you get further ahead, so it becomes either encrdiable easy or difficult depending on your starting RNG, it makes it so your choices doesn't feel impactful compared to the randomness. The bigger issue is the length of the game, it is relatively short, doesn't feel like it has any progression, and the last week if often a joke, it leads up to as if a new chaptor is starting and then it just ends. Thirdly is the incident mechanic, this is the one that is mostly annoying, since it gives you no real interactions like the reports mechanic, it often just randomly kills or wounds your guys, and makes for bad gameplay as there isn't much game about things you can't affect.
