Critic Reviews for Chains of Freedom
The sins of Chains of Freedom are on a completely different plane: its ending is not a reward, but a long-awaited release from the monotony of life. And the further you progress, the more tedious and lengthy the endless battles become.
Review in Russian |
Missions are linear but packed with optional areas, and the post-apocalyptic aesthetic feels polished, believable and well-directed. Suitable for those seeking accessible combat with near-infinite resurrection options, less for purists who demand depth and control of every action point.

Chains of Freedom is too caught up in its own macho army aesthetic to really have a connection with the player. Otherwise, it's a half-decent tactics game.
The main problem with Chains of Freedom is that it never stakes its own claim. It doesn't carve out territory that feels unique and often feels more like an imitator of other games than something with its own personality. While the core mechanics are largely serviceable, without a unique angle, there are far greater entries in the turn-based tactics genre to spend your time with. Ultimately, the predictable narrative delivered by dull characters and the repetitive combat make this a difficult recommendation for all but the most die-hard fans of the genre.
Overall, I enjoyed my time with Chains of Freedom. Some players may find the constant struggle for resources in the early game a detriment to the overall experience, but once I got wind of what it was trying to accomplish in this respect and adjusted, things started to pick up.
Not all Xcom-like games have to be the same, as shown by Chains of Freedom, a post-apocalyptic strategy game with a strong focus on story. It's a shame that the second half of the game is weaker.
