I covered this game as part of my coverage of the Xbox Game Pass for May 2022
Third Person XCOM.
Research and Destroy is interesting, players will control three scientists who are fighting against a supernatural horde filled with Zombies, Ghosts, and Werewolves. Each of the scientists can move and shoot for 8 seconds per turn and will need to use this to position themselves, shoot enemies and activate objectives. It’s an interesting mechanic where a combination of skill and planning is used to execute solid game plans.
Outside of the combat, players will also have to play a strategy board game to build up their scientific outposts, find new targets, and defend from the invading horde. It all works well together, though at the core this is a more complicated tactical shooter with the player’s skill having a decent effect on the experience.
Pick this up if you like the look of this. It’s clever with some of the short introductions per monsters but for the most part is a turn-based third-person shooter, which is a fresh concept that I haven’t seen too often. It’s almost like a single-player Lemnis Gate without the time loop mechanic
