Somewhat of a rudimentary looking TBS, but then they were playing it on easy.

I would definitively recommend this game to anyone that is a fan of tactics games. I've had lot's of fun with it and it pretty lengthy with a not to shabby story.

This quick look has sold me on this game, it's half price in most places so it's worth it

I didn't expect to be this interested by this game, but sure enough it looks like something I'd want to play.

Oh cool! I thought you guys weren't gonna QL this game. But I guess with how stale the 3DS lineup has been so far, it makes sense to tell folks about the games that aren't Street Fighter or made by Nintendo.This was the only launch game that I had any interest in, and I think it was the right choice for me. The 3D is kind of a waste in it though since it's not a game where rapid spacial decisions need to be made in succession.

I am perfectly aware that this is not constructive, but this was one of the most boring QL's I've ever seen. Not Ryan or Brad's fault. Game just does not show well.

I've said it before. Ryan Davis is bad at video games.

I agree, it's not a very fast paced game which leaves little to comment on. Neither of their faults, however it definitely showed what the game was.

Seems to be a nice, low-key turn-based strategy game.

Points for this not being some sort of shoehorned port of a old Ghost Recon game.

Man, it's been a long time since I've played a turn based strategy game. Very sad, considering it's my favorite genre. I almost want to pick this up, just because there hasn't been anything good in the field lately.. but I'm really not diggin that art style and dialogue

I'm officially sold on this game. I'll have to buy it when I buy a 3DS in a couple weeks. This and OoT ought to do until more games come out.

After the game showing them and then talking for 2 minutes about the damage modifiers that different levels of terrain can bring Brad says 10 mins later: 
 
"I wonder if the sniper can do more damage if he's up high".
