It took me quite a while to 'get' it. I started the game a few times but could never get far into the campaign. This time I'm actually getting further into the campaign. Feels like a good mix of Xcom and strategy. Some of the missions do feel very difficult though, and I find myself delaying doing the missions so that I can squeeze out a bit more research first.
The core game play is interesting and I'm a sucker for games that combine strategic and tactical elements in the vein of XCOM. I do feel the game requires a bit more polish, but can't argue value for the price I paid. There are a dozen or so paper cut issues that I would like to see ironed out. I also feel the combat system needs to be flushed out a bit more. It does seem to get repetitive after a while. You are fighting the same scenarios over and over again with the only variation is if you have enough of the unit types you like to use. I never found this an issue even playing with the minimum time between missions. One of the main reasons is that you don't want to use your pricey units at all if you can help it. You want to just field as many of your commanders as you can. Even if they are destroyed in combat they are replaced for free and generally they are more potent than any of the other units you can field for the same cost. As for most games, to solve for weak AI, they just increase the numbers of tough units. It's not terrible terrible mind. I definitely liked the autopause (FF off) when an event triggers, such as a task is complete. It also has a very puzzle like nature. Which is both good and bad. It is forgiving in that you just restart the mission again and again until you figure out the magic formula. The down side is you never have to deal with a loss. If losses were less avoidable but also less catastrophic, they could turn down the difficult a bit but overall have a more challenging game.
Pretty simple TBS, reminds me a bit of the massive assault TBS games though I did like them better than this. This reminds me of mobile games also just because how mindlessly simple it is from game play to graphics. I mean you don't even need your keyboard that is how simple it is. Buy it on sale if looking for a little time sink for TBS game. There is much better out there and if you are a TBS fan then you probably already have the better games lol (i know I do). So mobile like simple rx580 never left 40c and an intel 10600KF never got hotter than 45c imagine that lol..... Not worth $15 this one them $5 games i only gave like couple cents think i got it from a bundle couple years ago or either on sale for $3, one or the other. Been sitting in my library never played for over 2 years figured I'd try it before I finally uninstall it. Only takes something like 200mbs or something like that else it been uninstalled ages ago. Yeah i became slightly bored of it in 1.2hrs that is just how simple it is. I need something with little more depth and complexity to hold my attention. With that said though, for a simple pass time and if you can get it $5 and under I recommend it, if you can't or don't want a simple pass time I don't recommend it. It's all about what you are looking for at end of the day. Take care and Happy gaming!
This isn't bad, but you should know what you're getting into when you pick this one up. It is *not* a plot-driven mech-drama done in the Battletech/Mechwarrior style. Nor is it a smooth, clever, deterministic Advance Wars clone. Codex of Victory feels like a last-minute conversion of a wait-timer-driven tactics MMO into something a bit more Advance Wars-y. It has timed resource-harvesting, item icons that look exactly like something you'd see on Kongregate, and an overall structure that emphasizes waiting for upgrades, waiting for buildings, waiting for resources, etc. Still, if it's a rushed conversion, it's a fairly good one. Codex might be a little bland, but it has a good gameflow to it, and the strategic and tactical elements actually have some bite to them. In Codex, you build units in your X-Com base, then travel to combat sites and spend them in skirmishes. Everything you do from deploying to moving to shooting in combat requires Action Points, which are generated by taking and holding strategic sites. Strategic sites also allow you to deploy new units from them, so combat tends to revolve around taking and holding key territories and chokepoints. All of that is very Advance-Wars-y, but here is where Codex differs. First, it lets you move and attack with units the turn you deploy them, which means you can take a territory, spawn a unit from it, take a territory, spawn a unit from it, etc until you run out of AP. It also makes attacking a fortified position more perilous, as failing to take it in a single turn means the enemy gets to start warping in reinforcements, all of which can fire on your units as they come in. Codex is also heavily upgrade based. Every unit can have ten upgrades, which must all be slowly researched and paid for, and there are a *lot* of units in this game. You're not going to be able to afford to max out everything or even most things. This gives units and armies a high degree of customizability, even if the fruits of that customization don't really start to show until mid to late in the game. Codex's campaign is fairly beefy, but unfortunately the flat dialog and uninteresting world mean that it kinds of outstays its welcome as anything other than a tactical exercise. On sale, this is a reasonable pickup if you liked Advance Wars and want to try a slightly different take on the genre. However, if you're looking for lore, world-building, and engaging writing, it's probably best to wait for Harebrained's Battletech to release.
