The SRSGAMER dude recommended this as an exception among "indie" games because it's great, so I checked it out. lol at this:

"Turn-based indie tactics slash brain candy." (Tycho, Penny Arcade)

These are "indie" tactics, you understand -- which are veeeery different from regular tactics.

Anyway, it looks really damn cool, and I am prolly going to be trying it. Love the MGS aesthetic vibe too. The vibe, not the aesthetics themselves. Anyway, I'll explain if I end up reviewing it.

I am buying this later today, and apparently you get a free copy for a friend with every purchase, so first person to respond in this thread gets mine.

It reminds me of Rainbow Six. I'd love to try it out.

I don't like the graphics but that's where its "indieness" comes in I guess. Surprisingly solid mechanics coupled with the features ideal for competitive play. Just some minor annoyances with me in the way they set up the UI.

Mode 7's previous game, Determinance, is absolutely terrible by the way. I don't know if they still have that deal where you get Determinance for free, but don't bother. Absolutely abominable.

The demo was released yesterday, accompanied by a half price sale on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/news/?appids=98200

icy, are you still giving away your spare copy? My e-mail is h.zhou21@gmail.com. If you've changed your mind, I'll just buy it.

You've got mail. Let me know if you have problems downloading it.

Thank you! No download issues. I've been playing a few skirmish missions but unfortunately the level 3 AI seems to crash the game right after the first prime.
