OK, ok...who is going to take one for the team and try this? Looks like the group that developed Arsenal of Democracy had some role in this game.

That looks interesting, like the old Balance of Power game. If didn't just buy Mutant Year Zero I would have tried this.
Does look interesting.....but not $30 interesting with little feedback on it. With all the other sales going on, this one will need to wait for me.
i agree that the price is a bit too steep. $19.99 would seem like the sweet spot.
Just read that intentionally no save game option available in the game.....and the developer is only "warming" to the idea of adding it to the wish list. Sounds like it is a short game, but no way I buy a game without a save feature.
My decision now made easier:)

I searched and could not find any other posts about this game, had it on my wishlist forever and see its on sale for 50% off, guessing by the lack of topics/comments about the game it was/is not worth it? The premise looks neat a battle over regions kind of like twilight struggle / chess. Is there enough depth and replay-ability for a buy?
I like the astestics of it but I'm not sure about the gameplay. Looks kind of like a "choose your own adventure" type thing at its core.
I agree that $30 seems too steep. If it shows up in a bundle or goes on sale, I'll give it a whirl.
