It's a wonderful mixture of board like action where you can stare at the map for minutes while reflecting on the best course of action (something that can mean the difference between a perfect victory or a disastrous defeat in a single turn); with roguelike elements that also don't punish you too much for dipping out of a run when it goes south, and allow you to continue with a bit more progress each time.

Even when missions go really wrong it's still a thrill to try and to overcome the odds, after all the most satisfying part of this game is finding a breakthrough after pondering for a while. I found myself resetting less and less the more I understood how the game worked.
