Our take on Meridian: Squad 22
Combining a narrative campaign with base construction and a separate mission mode creates a wider strategic scope, but it sacrifices a narrowly focused story experience built around one gameplay layer.
What is Meridian: Squad 22?
Set in a science-fiction setting, Meridian: Squad 22 is a solo strategy game played in real time.
A specialist team travels to the planet after humanity’s initial colonization mission ends in failure and the colonists vanish. The campaign centers on locating them, with choices affecting how the narrative concludes. Players may attack or defend, while deciding whether squad survival takes priority or casualties are accepted for a tactical edge. Constructing bases is part of the strategy. The main story lasts over 10 hours. Planetary Conquest provides a separate mode with more than 100 procedurally generated missions on Meridian. The game also features responsive unit management, over one hour of music, and audio effects produced by Hexany Audio.
