Its easy, am i right?

So I just completed fist mission block Terrorist Hunt - Afghanistan.

I was playing on hard, cause higher difficulties are locked for some reason.

So this first block was extremely easy and repetitive, these terrorist didn't have a chance...

Will it be the same in other missions? If yes, this game is a waste of time and money then :( Especially for a guy that grew on xcom and jagged alliance...

No. It progressively gets harder; I thought the same thing. But, I've been playing on medium and I can tell a difference. I'm guessing it has to do with both an increase in squad level, and progression through the game. I mean you can probably finish them, it'll just be harder to get four stars.

Also, those higher level difficulties are locked because you do not have enough stars to play them. Stars also unlock better guns.

If you bought the dlc, it's a challenge. For the most part it is repetitive, however the other modes offer a slight bit of difference.

Also in settings check perma death.

It's never going to compare to JA or Xcom though, highly recommend you look into Xenonauts if you're looking for an oldschool asswhipping ;)

Something you might want to know, regarding the levelling of your squad members: the levels cap at 30, so you won't be able to add or change stats after that. If you're not aware, then the game could become even more difficult.

Also, just wait until you get to Bomb Defusal on Insane mode. XD

This! It really adds another level to the gameplay when your team is in their 20s, and you have to take on a FNG. Makes you double check your tactics every time. lol
