Useful notes for playing, known issues etc.:
– There’s a detailed PDF guide
– Tutorial: the game might feel quite familiar, but the tutorial can still be quite helpful when it comes to learning the controls and some specific mechanics, so we’d recommend quickly going through it before recording.
– Useful keyboard shortcuts: [Alt] on the world map to highlight interactive objects, [Ctrl] in combat for “tactical view” with small units, [Shift] in combat to show enemy movement range when hovering over enemy units.
– Some skills (Techie, Biotic and Globetrotter) allow commanders to learn special abilities, so choosing these skills when they pop up in the level up dialog can make the playthrough more interesting.
– The game should be pretty stable, but if you come across any major bugs, please let Oxymoron Games know, they should be able to provide a fix very quickly.
