I grew up with turn-based tactics games like Tactics Ogre and Final Fantasy Tactics, and it was always my favourite genre, but one thing those games often lacked was a multiplayer mode where you can play against other players. Therefore, I was very excited to hear that Atlas Reactor was a 4v4 PvP game. Despite it being turn-based, it’s still fast and furious as you only have 20 seconds to decide what to target, and where to move. It’s a constant stream of double-blind decisions where you’re guessing and second-guessing how your opponents will act and react to your positioning and threats.



The comparison to XCOM and DOTA is pretty accurate, so if you think DOTA is too fast, or you’d like to team up and play XCOM against other people, then give this a shot. It’s a game that rewards you for quickly assessing situations and correctly making decisions, as opposed to clicking quickly around the screen.



I play the game on Free Mode, which means that instead of always being able to play exactly the characters I want, I have to pick from a weekly rotation of characters. This suits me fine as I enjoy trying out different characters and filling roles that the team lacks. If you prefer specialising into 1 particular character, then maybe try the game out on Free Mode first before deciding to buy it – it’s currently £23 to unlock all characters forever, so you can play any of them whenever you want. I’m enjoying Atlas Reactor, I hope you try it and enjoy it too! :)
