Gain Ground is a very unusual game, that can be hard to really understand if you don't know what you're getting yourself into. However, once you understand how it works, and the design philosophy going into it, I think it actually becomes a pretty fascinating experience. I feel like the simplest way to describe this, is that it takes the design philosophy of a strategy game like Fire Emblem, and melds that into the context of a run-and-gun shooter.
I like this quite a bit, but at times I do find it a little bit bullshit in its design. It does demand a lot of patience from the player, but if you can deal with it, you will find a surprisingly rewarding experience. The Rambo and viking guys are the best units, by far.
