The real meat of the game is in the missions which are a turn-based grid affair, and are oh so enjoyable to play! Characters have a set of action points (AP), usually 100, used for moving and attacking. You’ll have your Daughters dashing…

If you can tolerate Project Warlock’s issues as I could, then you’ll be in for a brilliant throwback game that deserves attention. Great soundtrack, great visuals, and great combat, just let down by some technical issues. 

If this sounds like a single-game mode from Counter-Strike, then that’s because it is. What I’ve described above is the entirety of Warface: Breakout, and during my time playing this with our own Alex, we couldn’t quite understand what…

Things get brutally tough as you go on, to the point with this being nigh-on a ‘rage game’ — games that tend to lead to players rage quitting due to the difficulty. In Darius Guerrero’s games, there’s often a purpose to this that ties into…

The environments are very hard to navigate due to the camera. It’s often difficult to tell if something is an obstacle until you run into it, and considering how fast-paced this is, that’s pretty much a death sentence. Enemies can often…

The previously linear levels seem to have a little more scale now. Before it would pretty much be a case of move in a straight line and avoid the cameras, whilst now there are various side paths you need to take to unlock routes or…
