Review



Raven Squad is a real-time strategy/first-person shooter game playing on present day battlefields. This is one of the first games blending FPS and strategy (tactical RTS approach) together, creating a new and unique genre. The player is able to switch between the two modes anytime. The RTS tactical elements are balanced with the cover-to-cover FPS fight, with emphasised tactical decisions.

Re: Raven Squad

Just got a 3/10 review in Games TM. They say 'poor FPS meets boring RTS'.
