I was excited to find out that Robotality has a few other games after just finishing Halfway a few days ago. While this game definitely has improvements from Halfway, there's definitely some re-balancing that is needed.

Pros:
- Replayability:
There's a few characters that you can unlock after meeting specific criteria, so there's definitely replayability, especially if you're a completionist. Otherwise, it's still enjoyable to level up your existing characters while farming for new legendary weapons and armor.

- Loot System:
Weapons and armor now come in different tiers + unique stats.

- Engaging Story:
The story while short is enjoyable. There's 5 different campaigns in total, the last 2 being the longest and the most difficult.

- Reviving Mechanic:
This addition was a significant improvement for me. Fallen team members can now be revived (there's a time limit), however if you fail to do so, they'll be removed from your current run and can only be "revived" after your run is completed.

- Soundtrack.

- Pixel graphics.

Cons:
- Combat:
I had the same issue with Halfway, and here we are again. The enemies' excessive range (especially AoE) and ridiculous accuracy can make your run extremely frustrating. On a higher difficulty, it's just plain unfair.

Your characters can have reasonable accuracy and still miss consecutively.

Short Gameplay:
While the story was enjoyable, the overall length feels somewhat brief. With only 5 campaigns, it is definitely possible to complete this game in one-sitting. I wish there were a few more campaigns.

Steam Deck Controls:
Playing the game on the Steam Deck feels very clunky due to the controls. I find myself triggering actions accidentally because the cross hair/highlighted icon was difficult to see. But this just my own experience.

TL/DR; I would recommend this game if you're a fan of Indiana Jones + the Mummy + XCOM. Just be prepared for some frustrating moments in combat, at the mercy of the game's RNG.

fun enough, but not as varied in its random narrative events as ftl, and not as tactically engaging as the devs' other game Halfway. Still a recommend though.

One of the best Strategy game that I have played.
Pros: Random Events with history, You can make more decisions if You got Special Skills, Reward system is pretty satisfying.

Cons: You got to kill German Dogs.
