100% completed the game.

I liked part 2 way more then part 1.
Though I think some have still got some design flaws (weird difficulty spikes and drops) I can still see why these games are classics.

Scaling difficulty system is absolutely trash, you will have virtually no way to win some missions and the game won't tell you why there's suddenly a thousand ships on level 5.

The player patch mod just straight up does not work on SteamDeck either, I was really enjoying this game but it's too bugged to be worth the time.

Edit 1/26/2025: even after uninstalling all mods, I can no longer play this game. Anytime I start a mission, after the cinematic plays, I just immediately fail the mission and cant progress. Restarting the campaign from the beginning doesn't fix it - I tried that 3 times. It is now impossible for me to play this game past the first 3 levels. ♥♥♥♥ this game, do not buy it.

Does not have a borderless fullscreen option and the command line argument does not work either
The app borderless gaming has worked on every game I have tried it on except for this one as well
