You are running a squad of mercenaries around Arulco, trying to liberate it from the clutches of its evil Queen. The men and women you hire will curse and otherwise admonish you - the game is very sophisticated with its basis in politics of third world nations, while never loosing a sense of a humour and a sense of deep humanity. The name still reverberates through the cluttered corridors of computer gamedom. With the industry's slavish devotion to clones and sequels, it bumfuzzles your easily-confused reviewer that no one has yet produced a credible successor. Game full of subtle design flaws.
Fights are needlessly long, frustrating, and indecisive.
Fans of squad based tactical games should try Shadow Watch or X-COM Apocalypse. As a fan of squad based tactical games like X-COM and Shadow Watch, I really expected to enjoy this game. As a result, fights drag on needlessly. In X-COM and Shadow Watch, by comparison, fire fights tend to be quick and decisive.
