new installment is lack luster at best. I miss the spy so much, gem collection is tedious, the star system was great and is now gone, the unit selection is painfully long, the level design is boring, the enemies don't feel as good, and it just doesn't feel like the city siege where you could carpet bomb the entire map after saving citizens with a spy.

Alien graphics aren't that good, people die much quicker and you don't have to be tactical like in the others which I thought was really fun. Also, your troop's suits aren't very cool and I really liked using really cool guns like sniper rifles and machine guns!!! And it's harder to think of cool names for your troops 'cause you can't see what they look like. Overall, 2/5.

Minus the crystals, you should remake the city theme with these mechanics (loved the new system for controlling your units). Alien theme just looks kind of dumb.

really good trilogy but the 4th game is isolated. The only few things it has in common with the other 3 are: graphics and physics. I felt the crystal system ended up getting me killed a million times more then getting stars. The cash upgrade system was stupid, I hate it, really REALLY bad idea. I CAN'T SHARPSHOOT MY UNIT HAS TO BE ON THE SCREEN TO SHARPSHOOT THIS IS SOO DUMB!!!! Last but never least: it did the whole game with only a mech and laser unit, also the moment I got the mech I sold the laser unit. oh yeah and all the enemies had way WAY too much health (at one point I had to hit a regular enemy 5 times with a mech punch to kill it) and the best units in the entire game(s) were removed. I.E: spy and tesla tank. plus the whole game is a missed opportunity. + if you think the next game should have multiplayer!

shoulda stuck with what the system was like in 3 I like the smart bomb BUT the crystal go away b4 a guy can go in get them & the spy is one of the best units why get rid of everyones favorite I think you should add more spy like stealth units

Well,going back to City Siege 3,this one is too changed,cant use the ui what so ever...
Troops? God,everything is $5000 ! And where the spy goddmit
UI? God,the change of level selection and the new deploy thing is redunk
Leveling troops? STUPID,F-ING STUPID,why use money ?! Stars better!
Selecting troops? Annoying,boring,dumb UI again
Strategy? RUSH RUSH RUSH RUSH RUSH RUSH RUSH RUSH RUSH RUSH why? Running after money is a dumb mechanic,get rid of it,get money after level finishes...
Rate? 5,why? Its a city siege game, but thepodge Fd this one up SO MUCH,GOD, #OldGameOrRiot !

not a bad game in and of itself,
but a definite step back in the series as a whole
while i like the idea of group controls
the "simplified" units seem shallow and uninteresting
the radar mechanic takes the discovery and surprise out of going in guns-a-blazing
still have high hopes for 5 and hope it fixes the issues

So less units, arbitrary gem collection in replacement of rewarding star collection, and "hoily crep lazzorzzzz" for a continuation in the series. 1/5.

liked 3 more, needs the old units without all the sci-fi stuff. by that i dont mean exact old units but them with a bit more. dont get me wrong, i still love it. 3 1/2 stars

Is it really necessary to make us chase after crystals? I much preferred the previous versions where the earnings were calculated afterwards meaning we could focus on how to approach the enemies. Now it's a mad rush to collect the crystals before they disappear and you often end up getting shot in the process.
