A competent modern XCOM clone with all the 40k trappings you want, though it adds some of its own cool ideas. The difficulty curve is a little steep, but that's not the problem so much as the rate at which the game trickles out its interesting features and mechanics. It takes so long to grind through the early game that you're a bit tired of it by the time your side starts to get interesting classes and equipment to play with. I threw in the towel after 40ish hours with it because I had the sense that while I certainly could keep at it, I wasn't sure if I wanted to slog through the remaining difficulty spikes that I suspect this game wants to throw at me.
