I always wanted this game, I just didn't know it!

[A Black Falcon]

To just click on the unit and then click on the target, instead of having to go into first/third person mode and actually aim at them!

Also, I said this about the game back in the E3 thread:

Today, Nintendo announced a game for the 3DS, Project Steam or something like that. It's a shooter/strategy game from Intelligent Systems, with a Western cartoon art style and a steampunk setting -- you control a group of steampunk soldiers defending earth from aliens in the 1800s. Abe Lincoln actually founded the group, explaining that Lincoln Mii in the SSB video... interesting. Instead of having an overhead map, you play third person only with a team of four. It sounds decent to good, but simplified from Fire Emblem or Advance Wars -- there's no permadeath, no overhead strategy view, the third-person-shooter element, you only control four characters at a time, etc. I suspect that I'd like this less than a pure strategy game, and I'd rather see one of those than this. Still, it IS IntSys, so we'll see.

This reminds me that their repeated mentions at E3 of trying to attract people who don't usually play their strategy games (Advance Wars, Fire Emblem) makes me wonder if this one will be challenging or not...


I do agree that the setting is pretty cool, though. Steampunk, Abe Lincoln leading a team against aliens... why not, sounds fun. :)
