It's pretty much the exact same game as the originals, but they're so good do you really need more?

Its main additions are better quality of life for the first game (cutting down the 15 mission tutorial to just 3 missions and 3 short early Campaign levels, letting you choose COs for the final battle, the AI not cheating in Fog, the scoring system being in-line with 2 and beyond. And removing the dumb self-insert character) and the incredibly expressive CO Power animations and music. The common trend I see is "WayForward did not need to go this hard."

I'm glad this game is giving the franchise another chance at life, and I hope that leads somewhere.
