It's lacking a certain something
The overall game is pretty good. I like how the characters look. I like how you refer to the bad guys as "baddies." It's childish, but in a good way. Like when you used to play with toy soldiers.
The main problem I have with it is that it's a cross between a strategy game and an action game. It has elements of strategy in that you have your team and you level it up and there are strengths/weaknesses to each unit. And there's the action where you actually control the soldiers and their actions.
The two types don't blend very well in this game. I mean it's fun and nice to play, but it lacks something for me.
