Really liked the first game for the first few hours, then it turned into grind in which constant challenge-free repetition of levels to build your army was more important than the creative rhythm/strategy combat that made it unique. A lot of handheld games from that time did that (The World Ends With You, Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, and Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops, to name a few) - they’d have excellent core gameplay but would absolutely be loaded with tedious filler with the idea that you’d do that stuff on your daily train commute or whatever.
I know we hate Reddit here but this site is just taken from and rephrasing this post, which is more informative (which at least they were nice enough to link to): https://www.reddit.com/r/blackberry/comments/1jmalqp/a_startup_is_bringing_back_an_updated_blackberry/
(There’s also a pretty damn good chance this is total BS - the poster says he “used AI to cover up their actual design”).
