Having never played the original games, I was quite excited to check this remake out. However, I was pretty dissappointed with it. The story and timeline mechanic is fine, but I don't feel like there is much strategy involved. I was basically able to steamroll any given mission with no opposition. Compared to games like Fire Emblem or Tactics Ogre, I never felt like I had to think about my turns or put together a strategy more complex than "run them over with my superior units". Maybe I missed something but as it stands, I was very much let down by these games.
