War of the Human Tanks - Limited Operations

I waited too long to get to [i] War of the Human Tanks - Limited Operations [/i]; it's a great standalone title for the WoHT universe. LO takes place several decades after ALTeR, following a totally different cast of characters. There are clearly some relationships between LO characters and those from the other two installments, hinted by some characters and their abilities, but I haven't bothered to figure it all out (someone call Game Theory to figure this out maybe). From a gameplay standpoint, your army supplied with units specific to each mission, instead of assembling tanks and modules yourself. This is a benefit for the player who has played the first two games and now wants more of the VN than the battles. The player doesn't have to worry about grinding and spends more time with the story rather than outfitting the army. Most battles are balanced in favor of the player, though some battles are certainly more frustrating than others. The battlefields seem less diverse than in previous games, and more emphasis is placed on strategic movements in the face of a time constraint. I really like this limited supply idea, but players who liked the element of customizing their army would understandably find the concept a let-down. Also, I love the new level selection menu, which allows you to read associated scenes without going into battle. The extra battles that are unlocked by performing "limit clears" are clearly meant for bringing some nostalgia back for those that have played the first two games (it's quite unlike Dai'honei Corps to be taken out by the player like the way you will in LO). LO is definitely recommended, if only just to complete the collection. It doesn't really address any plot points from the first two games, so don't look for answers in LO.

Good game.

Достойное завершение трилогии. И лучший сюжет из трех игр.
