Looks like this game no longer has some features available due to its age (8years) but it works on my ARM surface and is both beautiful, engaging, funny, and fun to play 9/10

Seriously one of the hardest single-player campaigns I've ever played. Which makes it ♥♥♥♥♥♥' orgasmic when you finally win a mission - but be ready to fail over and over until you figure out a new trick for each level. TIP: Play with opening and closing doors coupled with smart rifles and recon sentrys.

I wouldn't recommend you buy this game just based on how many negatives reviews that there are. I really enjoy this game even with it's flaws. There are over 30 levels and I cannot remember how many episodes. I am currently in the beginning of episode 3 and like 13 missions in total. I picked it up back in 2023 but did not get around to playing it until last year. So mulitplayer was already offline, so that was no issue for me personally. For how cheap it is on sale to me it was worth it.

A fun and little known squad-based set in the retrofuturism of the 50s mid-century.
