really quite astonishing. the gameplay loop of research, building facilities, and increasing passive income to utilize in combat is decidedly a winning one; the gameplay here is so satisfying in a way i haven't really experienced anywhere else. the b-movie tone and energy add a lot of charm to the game as well - i found myself getting really invested in the stories i would create on the battlefield and the war tales of my soldiers. insane replay value, too; at three deals this is nuts
