It's on the Steam sale today for $12.49 and it comes with two copies.

"Ceaselessly thrilling."9/10 (Edge)

"Expect it to make a lot of people's Top 10 lists this year."9/10 (Destructoid)

"Excellent and inventive...it's such an achievement."9/10 (Eurogamer)

"A superb effort...this is the best indie game of the year so far."9/10 (Honest Gamers)

"The most moreish and brilliant game I've played in years."95% (bit-gamer)

It has a campaign mode (50+ maps), and an AWESOME online mode where it remembers all games played, and you can view any game played (including other players) to see the moves made. It's a turn-based strategy where the action unfolds in real-time, and you can simulate all moves (yours and your opponents) before you actually commit to them.

If you're a fan of TBS, strategy, or just want to try something new and refreshing, this is a great game.

Yeah this game looks badass, I really want it. Who knows though, maybe I'll luck out and someone will gift it to me since they only sell it in 2-packs. :P

Ugh. I promised myself that I wasn't going to buy any more Steam sale games but I also earlier promised myself that if Frozen Synapse came on sale - I'd buy it.

Here's a 30 minute gameplay vid. It will give you a really good idea on how the game actually plays. Skip ahead to like 5 minutes if you want to go straight to the gameplay, although he does talk about some cool things in the first 5 minutes, too.

Its been out a while and its def worth picking up. The music is amazing, singleplayer storyline is awesome, and multiplayer is great. The only bad thing is that people can take forever to do a turn. I am really surprised gamespot has not reviewed this game.

I think they're going to patch the game that includes (among other things) that if a player doesn't make a move in a multiplayer game in two weeks, it'll be a win for the other person. Since the game is doing pretty well, they're going to continue to support it, add things (possible 2v2 coop), and continue polishing. They're also going to be making one server that everyone plays on, so no more choosing between servers.

After playing a few MP matches I'm hooked, definitely recommend this game to turn based strategy fans.

I Love Frozen Synapse it reminds me of Rebel Star Raiders on the ZX Spectrum. If you don't have this game I seriously recommend it.

No offense, but you probably should read and listen more, instead of looking at moving pictures.

It's a tactical game, where you leade a specificly selected group of soldiers to complete the objective in a randomly generated map.

It has a lot of depth and strategy, you really have to think before you act, and it's just fantastic.

Well i played it for about 20 hours so in my opinion the money was well spent. However now im abit bored of the game as it lack a few features: *No 2vs2 or 3vs3 or 1vs1vs1vs1 *Very few variations on the maps *Lack of "objectives" and unique things on each maps (doors that can be opened, have a truck that can slowly move over the map so you can "walk" behind it) *The maps are some times way to small *The loading take ALOT of time if you consider the things it load. But overall a awesome game... It could ofc have been better :>

Hmm, I want this game but I still can't convince myself to actually drop the money on it. If anyone buys it and is willing to give the free copy away to a stranger, my steam account is Headcrab3 and I'd be a happy recipient. :p

Takes awhile to get use to and people with low attention span will probably nto like it.

Put some time into it though and youll be rewarded with a very deep and challenging strategy game.

Virtual gym 2011: complete with Protein shakes, sports mini games, and naked women spotting while you lift. Using steroids is looked down on by the online community but will help give that manly appearance so long as you keep on your clothes.

There is actually a better sale going on right now at GamersGatefor $9.98 (which is actually $4.99 for each person since it's 2 for 1) and it is completely DRM free as well. I definitely recommend this game. Get it now while it's on the cheap. Split it with a friend if you have to.

Got to third level and got bored. It's ok at first but, gets boring fast. They could also have done more with the graphics. I would give the game a 5.

I don't mind RTS, but like people are just playing it to be all like "I am supporting Indie games". However in realitiy if this was made by Infiniti Ward and published by Activizion nobody wud play it. Like if you want to go play a puzzle game, just go play a big budget RTS, not star craft that's all like key presisng monstrosity. Go play some like I duno Age of mythology/Age of empires which is not turn based so you don't fall asleep and it requires thinking.
