Critic Reviews for Grit and Valor - 1949
Grit & Valor is, in many ways, exactly what I look for in a roguelike - individual runs aren’t too long, so it’s easy to squeeze in a game or two when time is tight, but there’s plenty of incentive for multi-run marathons as well.
Grit and Valor 1949 is an enjoyable roguelite experience, offering compelling mech tactics with punchy gameplay and a cool aesthetic, though repetition does eventually set in.
Putting aside the weird, tone-deaf childishness of the plot setup, Grit and Valor – 1949 is occasionally an exciting little strategy game. Some of its map designs and optional objectives force you to make the most of scant resources, and for all the challenge, it's refreshingly quick and easy to make up losses when you fail. It's just frustratingly shallow in its take on roguelike structures for longer than it should be.
As you push into tougher runs, the game leans more on your unlocked strength than clever tactics. Sometimes you’ll find you survived more through upgraded stats than actual skill or planning. There are boss fights, and those can hit hard; but a lot of the grind feels like you have to pile on upgrades just to not get steamrolled, rather than learning new strategies.
Enjoyable enough to play for an hour or so, but Grit & Valor – 1949 quickly gave me the feeling of wishing I had the tools I needed to make responsive tactical decisions, and left me wanting to be offered choices that would lead me to different battleplans than the ones I started my runs with. In the end, providing giant robots just wasn't enough to win the day.
Grit and Valor – 1949 is extremely interesting, as well as being pretty fast paced. While it isn’t, strictly speaking, an RTS, it’s close enough for me, and that means it is more than worth a dabble.
A pleasant tactical RTS with short but dynamic battles. It will often knock you to your knees only to return stronger and more resilient after upgrading your base. The question is whether you will have enough patience to keep throwing yourself at the imaginary taxis again and again and fight your way to the finale.

Everything works with Grit and Valor -1949, but the repetitive nature of the concept makes it a bit of a slog for long playthroughs.
