This strategy sequel’s biggest new innovation is that its robot protagonists can now switch freely between different battlefield jobs, and combine abilities unlocked in each together. Though there are only six roles, there’s an impressive depth to the amount of different possible combinations. That’s emblematic of a sequel that expands on its predecessor in almost every way.
The original was the most impressive of the bunch – a turn-based tactical RPG, its clever twist was manual aiming takes that great core combat and expands out everything around it, adding an overworld to explore, more progression and equipment for your crew, a more elaborate story and a lot more fights to blast your way through.
