Switching from the overhead view to a sideways perspective makes this installment play out differently than all the others, but it's still the same core gameplay. The last third of the campaign has a few too many 'gotcha' moments on each map, especially when it introduces overpowered drone enemies that can destroy your ship in moments, but so long as you practice good save game hygeine you can power through most of them once you get wise to their tricks.
