Future War Tactics: SOF vs Alien Invasion – Turn-Based Strategy

Игра хорошая, напоминает мой любимый Феникс Пойнт... но к сожалению, до него не дотягивает. Плохо, что нельзя поменять имена героям(( и как то их кастомизировать. Нельзя варьировать количество юнитов, выбирать, куда идти и что делать. Нет выбора - главная проблема игры. Нет сохранения), что очень удивило. Смерти героев нет, они просто выбывают из боя, что нереалистично.

Future War Tactics – Honest Review I finished the game.Total playtime: 7.5 hours on medium difficulty. It’s clear that this was intended to be a bigger project, but probably ran out of money or time, and the developers had to release it in a half-finished state. Many parts are poorly thought out and badly executed, but it’s not completely hopeless: there are some positive elements. Unfortunately, they don’t outweigh the negatives. ❌ Negatives - Very short campaign – around 7.5 hours to complete. - Animations – look like they’re from 15 years ago. - The support machine gunner keeps firing even after lowering the weapon, which is extremely distracting. - Immortal squad members – you only have 4 soldiers, and they don’t really die. If they are shot but you complete the mission, they come back to life. - Simplistic progression system – all 4 classes have almost the same skills (counterattack, drone usage). - Illogical mechanics – grenades can’t be thrown from behind cover; you have to step out and back for AP. Same issue with drones, even worse and more illogical. - Amateurish storywriting – the story concept isn’t bad, but the writing is shockingly unprofessional. - Terrible voice acting – bad even for an indie title. - Awful military communication – almost no military slang. It’s obvious the developers haven’t seen a single war movie. Extremely annoying. - AP system issues – soldiers get 18 action points, but reloading takes 14. Weapons carry very few rounds, so you’re constantly reloading, artificially increasing the difficulty. - No base building or micromanagement – the game is completely linear. - No replayability – once you finish, there’s no reason to go back. ✅ Positives - UFO/X-COM vibe – it somehow brings back the tense, oppressive atmosphere of the old UFO games. (This mostly works for players familiar with the classics.) - Curiosity factor – you want to see how the story unfolds and what new equipment comes in, although there isn’t much. - Level design atmosphere – the Russian, post-communist environment works very well. - Non-pixel-art graphics – personally, this is a huge plus. Summary: I only recommend this game to hardcore turn-based strategy fans who want a nostalgic experience. Everyone else should steer clear. The €10 price is too high. For that price on the indie market, you can get much more polished and well-executed games. Not a disaster, but far from a good game.
