As I mentioned up front the game can absolutely be a bit repetitive from the enemies to the level layouts but for the most part I’ve also found the action pretty compelling. Some tactics are absolutely more effective than others and if you’re not careful you’ll still get taken down, especially by the formidable bosses. Well beyond even the challenge of the bosses are elite enemies you’ll encounter that, as far as I can tell, I’m still unable to take down even though I’ve completed numerous levels beyond them. There’s simply not a great deal of explanation around some elements of the game so when in doubt you learn to simply keep rolling and hope you can complete the objectives anyway. In truth that normally does work so I assume you’ll just get back to them later. In general that rule applies as you run into problems, just keep grinding and it will all work out. While Earth Wars isn’t a high concept title the level of quality it manages at its price point still makes it well worth checking out. If you don’t mind grinding away a bit to improve your gear to then take on some slightly tougher enemies and slowly make your way through missions and bosses it can be pretty satisfying. As long as you keep your expectation in check and fair it’s a pretty decent game to kill some time with in handheld mode while doing something else, and I can generally get behind that.
