Tacticool
First thing I want to point out is that there IS a tutorial. Actually, theres a video over each aspect of the game, with a written version if you dont want to watch the video.
The game itself is an amazing tactical squad-based shooter. Ive never felt as much suspense in a game as I submit my turn. The campaign is nice and long, taking me about 20 hours to complete all of the challenging 55 missions. The AI is brutal and unpredictable. Multiplayer is by far Frozen Synapses best aspect, with quick load times and foes that are much more unpredictable than the AI.
Sure, the UI does take a couple rounds to get the hang of, but after that its smooth sailing. Frozen Synapse is a necessity for every ios/pc gamer; make sure to pick it up.
EDIT: And to everyone saying that theres too many buttons and commands, Im 14 and doing just fine, while making use of each and every one of them. And for the love of God there ARE tutorials!!! I guess some people are just too lazy to look. Anyways, FS is still a great game. I always find a multiplayer game in less than 20 secs (with decent wifi) and still get the same extremely satisfying feeling of beating a real person, even after owning this game for a pretty long period of time. So far it runs silky smooth on my 5s and iPad 4 with no bugs or glitches that I know of. Please do yourself a favor and get this masterpiece of a game.
