Strain Tactics has a ton of stuff going on in it, which makes for a game that feels really chaotic. One second, everything could feel totally manageable and predictable, and, in the next, your whole party can literally be on fire. No matter what is happening though, it is hard to deny the rich, strategic depth that Strain Tactics offers. It may have quite a bit of jank and rough edges, but Strain Tactics can still be a heck of a good time.

The presentation is quite nice and does a good job fleshing out the world. There are tons of items and characters which create a lot of variety in your squad. Ultimately this is why some players will love Strain – it has a ton of depth. Sadly, this depth comes at the price of complexity, which makes it nearly impenetrable at first.

Beneath Strain Tactics’ glaring interface issues, there’s a rich vein of deep military science-fiction fun. Touch Dimensions have a sleeper hit on their hands, warts and all. The big issue to cracking the surface, and I figure there have and will be a number of pundits just not willing to endure the acclimatisation.
