Rebelstar: Tactical Command 2005

Is it still worth playing?

A turn based tactics game for the Game Boy Advance, released in 2005 as the fourth Rebelstar game, created by Julian Gollop, who designed UFO: Enemy Unknown and Laser Squad. In 2117 an alien race, the Arelians, has enslaved humanity, and you control a squad of single character units to accomplish various goals. Units have action points, renewed every turn, and each action from turning to shooting costs some. You can pick up weapons from dead enemies and allies, and since ammunition is limited you sometimes have to loot a corpse to keep fighting. Units gain experience and levels, and a skill point you can assign to heavy weapons, hand to hand combat, medicine or stealth. The campaign takes about 15 to 20 hours, and skirmish mode lets you play as one of four races against the AI. Action points and short ammunition still make every turn a count of what each soldier can afford.
