Some kind words:

"A very effective use of the medium… The brutal simplicity of it is precisely what makes it powerful."
-Jonas Kyratzes, creator of Phenomenon 32 and The Book of Living Magic

"A game that makes a point without forgetting that it has to be a game."
-PC Gamer

On the flip side:

"Meh. Tasteless game. So if you need to butcher countless innocents to stop the 'OMG TERRORISTS,' how exactly are you any better than them?"
-PC Gamer comments
