Nexagon: Deathmatch

I've spent enough time with low-budget strategy hybrids to know when the ambition outpaces the execution. Nexagon wants you to fight in a televised tournament across destructible environments while managing fortress upgrades between matches. The core idea is sound: real-time tactical combat with persistent progression. The problem is the execution feels scattered. Combat is serviceable if you're patient with the controls, but the fortress-building layer never feels like it matters strategically. Matches play out more like reflexive action than tactical positioning, which defeats the purpose of calling this strategy. If you're after a niche 3D arena fighter with light progression mechanics and don't mind rough edges, there's something here to poke at. But expect jank, limited opponent variety, and a metagame that never quite clicks. The destructible environments are the only genuinely interesting hook, though they rarely factor into your actual strategy. Diego, Scout Team
