It's not strategy. It's rote memorization of the order of operations the devs want you to do. The other negative reviews were right. The thing is, Advance Wars, which this game is clearly inspired by, also has the same issue. But at least with Advance Wars it lets you get around halfway through the game before succumbing to rote memorization "difficulty". This game starts off with that right away.

Barely a strategy game. Scoring is based on turn numbers, not effective unit placement. Tactical and efficient unit management is punished and throwing units into fog of war to die is rewarded. It feels like banging your head into a wall over and over again. Controls are clunky, animations are slow and tedious, and the story is cheeks. There's really nothing to sink your teeth into, it's as shallow as a puddle in every way. It's a shame because I really wanted to like this game!

Addicting gameplay and it's simple to learn. Visuals are pretty neat.

I'll admit that I missed out on this genre of game play. That being said, I enjoyed it with all the elements coming together: the game feel, the art style, the mechanics, and the story as well. My only major complaint is that there's no speed up button. Sure I enjoy the game's animations but having to watch the opponent's moves and their respective animations when you're on a bit of a time crunch maxes me a bit anxious. I don't want to frame this as too much of a negative though as watching the opponent's actions allow me to better formulate a proper response. I would recommend this to those who like turn based strategy games.
