While the tactical missions can be fun in the beginning they quickly become stale and repetitive. Combat is overly simplified and lacks pretty much everything that would make it interesting in the long run, like a rudimentary cover system for instance. AI doesnt perform as well as one would like and is far to predictable to be enjoyable in the long run.

All in all massive chalice had the potential to become an interesting addition to the turn based tactics genre, if only the developers hadnt rounded so many corners.
