This game can be quite a lot for a new player to get into. Levels longer than entire TG-16 games are the norm. Randomness in battles that can be difficult to anticipate. Fortunately, there’s an expedient learning tool- 2P Mode. You will only need one controller and the player will naturally switch after the other one has "end"ed. It has the exact same maps as the single player mode, except you have full control over the green units as well as the blue ones. This may not sound useful, but it allows for easy and expedient practice and learning of new terrains and units. There’s no need for trial and error luck manipulation- you can put units in the exact situations you need and see how everything happens. I wish I had tried it out earlier. It’s especially fantastic for new players. The epiphanies will happen with this new learning tactic.
