HEBEREKE!: March! Red Army Girls' Brigade

HEBEREKE!: March! Red Army Girls' Brigade is an unusual Japanese strategy game with a title that immediately suggests subtlety was never part of the design brief. Set against a military-themed backdrop, it combines tactical gameplay with a colorful cast and a distinctly eccentric presentation. The contrast between serious military terminology and its stylized characters gives the whole experience a peculiar charm that is difficult to mistake for a conventional war game. It is the sort of title that rewards curiosity, particularly for players interested in obscure Japanese freeware and indie games that never received much attention outside their home audience. If nothing else, HEBEREKE! demonstrates that even military strategy can be wonderfully weird.
