I'm giving this a thumbs up but I didn't finish this game and I don't know that I'd care to play it again. It is a turn-based tactical shooter which is really neat. I like the simplicity of the game and the narrative is engaging. Managing your squad is not burdensome and you can get into the game quickly. However, the big negative for me is that it is unforgiving. There are wave after wave of enemies coming at you and they seem to hit more often than your squad does, regardless of cover or the % chance of hitting. The number of shots that I missed that said I had 80+% chance of hitting was ridiculous and very demotivating. For someone who doesn't mind the grind of doing a level over and over until you unlock the formula for success, go ahead, but I don't think its geared towards someone wanting a more casual experience.

At first, the turn-based strategy seemed overly simple: not a lot of options of what you can do, and a lot of waiting around or shifting of teammates before you can finally land a shot (which is solely probability, stats, and somewhat location-based). However, once you pick up more teammates along the way, the options of what you can do and the overall strategies you choose to implement open up a little, and the battles crank up the difficulty quite a bit as the game progresses. Still a bit frustrating when some of your best strategies can feel easily outmatched by the probabilities of shots landed falling more in the enemies' favor, but overall enjoyable and fun. Also, love the background music and story.

Halfway is a nice short pixel tactical RPG. Loved the concept, the simplicity, the feel and the storyline. Would love some more tactical weapon/utility choices late game. Also the open ending without resolution is killing me.

After 10 years of having this game sit in my steam pile I decided to give it a playthrough. A tentative yes for a bare bones turn based game. The depth of the RPG elements is rather shallow and could have used more polish. Some of the weapon's percentages don't make sense and there's only one real build for the sniper guy to make him viable. I wish I could have had more slots to use all the characters in a mission. Bumping the max squad to six instead of four would be better. The art style is good and the characters are distinct so they don't blend together. The story itself is decent enough but I feel it too could have had more polish. It left me wanting more. Overall its a maybe buy at full price. you'll get at least one playthrough for your money. Impulse buy on sale if this kind of game is your jam.

Great game. But I recommend playing it with the Goliath Revisited mod from the workshop. Visuals and music are really nice too. I hope the dev will make more such games.
