You are part of an elite squad who freeze time to move near cover and get shot in the head.

I guess they didn’t play their own game, because there are obvious flaws. This would have been more fun if they got rid of the whole moving around like an RPG. Like the old X-COM ga– oh wait, the old games are just better. Why was this game made?

So cute! Whenever I play a game with a little fox type thing, I will always think of Okami – (2006 game).

I ended up getting stuck at the winter/summer level, trying to go east with the spirit. I guess I’m the first person to ever play this, ever.
