"Though the tools exist in surprisingly complete form, Raven Squad never manages to get to its’ feet in RTS mode. A simplistic approach to RTS lacking in any resource management whatsoever, the player must move their icon-based troops across a top-down map, with enemy troop types visible at all times. Though some may find the more relaxing feel of the RTS strategising appealing, it’s more than likely that the majority of console gamers will simply use the RTS perspective as a guide, rather tha..."
"As the first videogame developed by fledgling Budapest based Atomic Motion, Raven Squad had been quietly bubbling under until a showing at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) earned some media attention thanks to the promise of integrating First-Person Shooter (FPS) and Real-Time Strategy (RTS) genres. A novel idea to say the least, and thankfully not the only one Raven Squad has up its’ sleeve."
"The controls feel very sludgy, and if you try this title after you’ve spent a good deal of time with tighter games such as Halo or CoD, you’ll initially get the sense that the troops you play as in Raven Squad are wearing concrete boots."

"SouthPeak Games has today announced their upcoming title Raven Squad has achieved gold status and will be shipping in North America later this month. Coming to the Xbox 360 and PC, Raven Squad combines the Real-Time Strategy (RTS) and First-Person Shooter genres with a flair akin to the iconic 80’s Action flicks that inspired an entire generation to create a genre all it’s own."
"SouthPeak Games’ Raven Squad has been receiving a fair bit of attention lately, thanks mainly to the release of some screenshots offering a little clarity to exactly how its mash of genres will work when played. Raven Squad is a tactical action game set in the Amazonian jungles that blends a First-Person Shooter (FPS) experience with the command and overview advantages of Real-Time Strategy (RTS), and today, SouthPeak Games have released a brand new gameplay trailer that is, apparently, set t..."
"Set in the Amazon in the year 2011, players will experience lush jungle visuals, haunting ambient sounds, weather changes, and an enemy on their home turf. Featuring the best of both worlds, Raven Squad has both FPS and RTS gameplay combined for a co-operative campaign that allows players to take control of a squad and play through the entire game with a friend online."
A brief summary of the upcoming first person shooter / real time strategy hybrid, Raven Squad: Operation Hidden Dagger, plus new screenshots released today by the game's publisher, SouthPeak Interactive.
"After 1 year of engine development in house the game looks and feels really good. they have added some features that you might even realize like the level of zoom determines how fast the cursor moves on the screen, visual appearance tied to personality of characters and multiple AI types (4 or 5 in all)."
