Though i hold a lot of esteem for this game and i play it a lot, i won't lie, it's a bit rough around the edges, the plot and characters are not very deep, the campaign is quite linear and individual scenarios cannot be easily replayed (you need to leave a save or replay the entire campaign), and it suffers from slowdowns, even on an emulator. However, it's still very worth playing, the artstyle is charming, the sprites look good, the music is nice, and the gameplay's very good, like a pocket old school X-COM. With the customizable skirmishes you can play at any moment, it's an excellent game for tactics on the go, especially when you have friends to try the multiplayer out with. A shame the planned sequel was never produced, i can see a lot of potential in this.
