This is a good tactical simulation game for PS Vita. There are a lots of missions to complete and lots of weapons to unlock. You will need to grind some missions to level up your soldiers and gain more money to buy weapons and equipment for your soldiers. There are some bugs present in the game thought. You will also notice that the menus and text are a bit small and almost hard to read. The game doesn't have any storyline. Other than that, still an enjoyable game that you will take precious hours of your life.
