Coming back to this game years later, I do have a bit of a gripe with the difficulty. I was able to sweep the game with just infantry, ending with 1 legendary and 4 elites, and never once had all of my units die, all with a sub-optimal team comp and normal tactics. For that matter, I also disliked the lack of player interaction beyond creating the team; choosing general tactics sometimes doesn't feel like enough. Even still, though, the game is simplistic and fun while still providing for a decent-length playthrough.
