For me, on a par with its predecessor. The story is a little less political and more personally motivated, but there are again quite complex political structures and a lot of history that the game tells you bit by bit. I even liked the maps a bit better than in LUCT. Everything seemed a bit more compact and interesting, the maps had more verticality and less boring huge areas where nothing happened. Yes, the story doesn't reinvent the wheel and the characters weren't overly well written, but all in all I really enjoyed this game. If you liked LUCT, you'll have fun with this one too.
