The tutorial for Special Tactics Online is one of the hardest things I've ever attempted, and to strategy fans that is a very good thing indeed.

The game has a great deal of depth, with lots of commands to assign to your squad, plenty of weapons, and a diverse array of encounter types.

What you won't see in the video above is the multiplayer, which will be a heavy focus for the game along with its lengthy (and tough) campaign mode.

Special Tactics Online (or STO) is coming to iPhone and iPad this summer.
