Just once we’d like to see a squad shooter with a bit of color. Soldiers in rainbow suspenders, terrorists sporting bright turquoise tops. It wouldn’t be particularly stealthy, but at least it would catch the eye. While Team Sabre suffers from the same muted palette that many other games of this type are blighted with, at least Sabre is cheap. For around 20 bucks you get a perfectly reasonable shooter, with a streamlined command system that actually works well. Although we’d still recommend getting a cheap copy of one of the various Conflict games instead.
