I picked this game up on humble monthly and thought it would be another game where I would play the tutorial and half of the first level, but to my surprise, I got hooked very quickly.

I am not a great strategy player, but could do all missions without frustration on normal.
I don't know, if normal is the best difficulty for a strategy newbie like me, but it was quite feasible.
Sometimes I found myself in situations where there seemed to be no way forward or back.
Nevertheless, there was always a way out of the situation without having to restart the level.
Timing and patience played the main role.
Try and error and not relying on one tactic over and over was also an important part of my playthrough.
The game has a quicksafereminder. If you haven't made a quicksafe in the past minute, a big quicksafe button will appear in the top part of the screen.
I usually quicksafe a lot in games, but it might come handy to players that are new to playing on a PC.

During the missions there are charming dialogues between the characters from time to time.
This distracts from the fact that they are quite generic apart from that.

The fact that each character has its own abilities (active and passive) also makes for different tactics.
Since each level offers different character combinations, it is also necessary to use each character and thus get to know their abilities.
Simply leaving one character to the left and mastering a complete level with the remaining ones is probably
also possible, but makes no sense apart from a personal challenge.
