Our take on Strike Team Gladius
Instead of pairing tactical battles with base construction or resource administration, the game centers its structure on combat missions. Progression stays with squad classes, equipment, skills, and abilities, while battlefield objects and military support units supply the main tactical variation.
What is Strike Team Gladius?
Lead a squad of elite soldiers, mechs, and vehicles in turn-based battles to retake a colony world from an alien invasion.
The campaign contains 40 missions with distinct objectives and victory conditions. Missions grant experience, equipment, skills, and abilities for developing squad members. Choose from 22 classes, including snipers and melee specialists, then combine traits and abilities to shape each team. Combat uses cover, terrain, fuel containers, explosive barrels, and other destructible objects. Special missions add tanks, troop carriers, artillery, and combat mechs. Battles span deserts, alien jungles, and the alien home world, with each setting presenting different tactical conditions. The game concentrates on combat rather than base construction or resource administration.
