Tactical squad-based shooter? Gangsters with "Burrito" tattooed in Olde English across their chests? Sexualized feminine characters in shorts? $5.99?
Not sure how all this could go wrong, and after a whooping 2 hours of noodling around, I haven't changed my mind. The graphics and style are intentionally light-hearted, but it works, at least for me.
No linky make Staggerwing sad :(
Ooops!

This game looks good. Might have to pick it up.
I should clarify that it's "tactical squad based combat" only in sense that there is a squad and there is combat. "Lunacy with guns n'sh!t" is a bit more accurate. It suffers from a bad case of Range Symptom -- the maximum range of an M-16 is roughly equivalent to a VW Bug.
This does not appear to be an entirely English as a First Language release, but the language is just slightly off. As the Antisquad themselves are slightly off, this ends up working surprisingly well.
There is a story. Don't buy it for the story.
I didn't have a strong urge to keep playing after completing my first mission, but I am looking forward to going back and spending more time with the squad.
This does look interesting. For some reason it reminds me of a turn-based Team Fortress 2. ;D They even are launching a comic series like TF2.
Edit: this is only SP right? Shame, it could be fun in a MP environment like with Frozen Synapse.
