X-Squad begins with a promising premise: gamers find themselves in the role of Ash, the head of a military squad tasked with stopping a terrorist group. The plot centers on the kidnapping of a scientist and the theft of his secret project, which gives the gameplay a special edge from the very beginning. As the player, you navigate a tangled web of nine levels, each of which presents distinct challenges and enemies. In this third-person shooter, the player not only controls Ash, but also takes on the role of a squad leader, issuing orders to his teammates in the heat of battle. Commands such as “follow”, “attack” or “defend” can be issued easily, adding tactical depth to the gameplay.

Versatility expands, allowing you to switch between an arsenal of weapons and strategically use items to heal or enhance abilities. Navigating the title becomes more intuitive thanks to a well-designed radar system. This handy tool serves as a visual aid, outlining the positions of allies and enemies on the battlefield. The squad mechanics aren't revolutionary, but they do add a strategic element to the gameplay, allowing users to approach missions with a sense of teamwork and coordination. While X-Squad doesn't break any new ground, it is a solid third-person shooter with enough variety to keep gamers busy.
