Finally found an xcom clone that seems to get the tactical aspect right. While I don't dislike the rest of the gameplay, it leaves some to be desired. Though not much. Even if it's the kind of stuff that doesn't make me want to replay it and makes ironman a bit too annoying. I really hope this gets a sequel and they expand on it a bit. Like some sort of research equivalent over just finding slightly better weapons here and there and some micromanagement in between fights rather than just talking to NPCs. Preferably I'd like a sequel to be less story and character driven, rather let the player make a team and let us compete in the tournament. If not just to make replays feel less repetative.

The world is a bit garish, drowned in red light and an aesthetic that makes all but the last stage blend together visually. I would definitely like to see more variation when it comes to that.
