Good but needs a little work

This is a pretty good tactical turn based game. I like the idea of action points and the fact that there are no in app purchases is great! My only complaints are that the movement controls need to be refined a bit, like add the ability to position which way the soldier faces when moved, and maybe add just one more AP per turn.
The good and bad

Graphics are good, sound ok, music droning. Touch controls easy and nice. I've noticed a few glitches, so far nothing crazy. Things I think needed and tweaked. Being able to zoom out further. Tapping on operators tab should move the camera to center on the operator. And the stabbing graphics when you're back stabbing to be changed to a grab and stab... More blood and gore for crits and explosions. Worth $5.
Good, ought to be great

*Update* Crashing problems on Mini are fixed, which is great. Remaining is the imprecision of the touch interface, which can cause mission ending mistakes. Good game so far. The storyline, voice acting, etc are pretty bad, but the gameplay is very good. Some elements of the controls are clearly rough (selecting things is too hard), but in general the simplicity is good. The emphasis on tactics and skills progression over silly "gun porn" equipment upgrades is welcome. It's the best tactical game I've played on iPad so far (XCom being too silly). Like almost all games in the Internet age, it still only seems partially through its development, so I look forward to it getting better. The single biggest element I'm missing is suppression effects. When a bad guy is getting shot at by an M4 and a SAW, he shouldn't be returning effective fire unless he is a strike force commando indeed. The purpose of my SAW gunner should be to suppress bad guys and allow my other men to maneuver. The game is a neat combat simulator, but fire and maneuver are literally the foundation of modern tactics. Cues could be taken from Breach and Clear, which allows you to designate fields of fire.
Way better than Frontline Tactics

Thoroughly enjoyable with campaign and single mission modes. No in app purchases shows the company respects the player and doesn't just look at him as a wallet to empty. You can get all the upgrades you need just by playing the game. The controls are easy enough but sometimes a careless gesture might send your operator in the wrong direction. Just be careful where you swipe. Some folks complain about the lack of suppression fire and I agree. A hail of bullets from an M249 should cancel any previous plans of an enemy and send him scurrying for cover. But it doesn't make the game any less enjoyable. If you're looking for a good squad tactics game this is it! Compared to Arma Tactics, Frontline Tactics was a waste of my time and money.
Very lacking

A very shallow turn based strategy. I don't know where they come up with the probability outcome in this game. At eighty percent my men fail to hit more often than not. Save your money this game is a real steamer.
