A rebuilt back half, a real level editor, and split-screen that actually works: the extras here are tools, not wallpapers. Best if you have a couch partner or a D&D group.

A real-time tactics puzzle box where every guard patrol is a lock and your five outlaws are the keys. Quicksave-heavy, punishing, and deeply satisfying when a plan lands.
