Тактическая стратегия Laser Squad для ZX Spectrum

Laser Squad is a tactical turn-based strategy game released in 1988 by Target Games/Blade Software. Developed by Julian Gollop with assistance from Nick Gollop, it is reminiscent of the Rebelstar series. The game unfolds in a series of turns where players control a small number of units, each with unique characteristics and action points (APs) for movement, combat, and other activities.

Players are tasked with managing resources, selecting equipment, and deploying units strategically. The equipment selection involves spending credits on armor and weapons, with options ranging in strength and capability. A notable weapon is the Marsec Autogun, favored for its versatility.

The game features several scenarios, each with distinct objectives. For example, in "The Assassins," players must eliminate the character Sterner Regnix, while "Moonbase Assault" involves destroying databanks to hinder enemy intelligence. These scenarios require careful planning and tactical execution.

Laser Squad's gameplay is enhanced by mechanics like opportunity fire, where units can attack during the opponent's turn if they have sufficient APs. The game also incorporates elements like line of sight, adding depth to the tactical experience.
