About this game
A unique take on the complex action seen in the SOCOM franchise, Tactical Strike is a strategy spin-off that requires concentration of your mind and your strategy skill over your trigger finger. You are in command of four soldiers (broken into two smaller fire teams), and you're able to issue commands to either team, an individual soldier or all four guys at the same time.
