Tactics Mode

To survive in The Red Solstice, you must always be able to master. Here you can activate the Space bar to help in the tactic mode. This is slowed you enormously and you have time to organize your squad. This is particularly important in the story mode and in the wave attacks because there you take control over an entire team.
