A decent shooter. It plays a lot like mass effect’s combat. If you play on a high difficulty it does force you to micro manage your squad and play tactically much like the main xcom series. The story is pretty bare but i did enjoy the ending (b movie sci fi nonsense just like i was hoping for). The characters are 1 dimensional and youre never really given any reason to care about them. I wouldnt say I reccomend this game at all but if you do pick it up then youll have a good time for the 20 hours or so.
Game Mechanics
Decent Story
Interesting backstory of collectables
Very linear mission path
Restricted skills for crew
Crew AI can be frustrating
The story itself was fairly typical at the outset (aliens invade planet, must fight back), but there were some very unique twists in the story which I will not reveal, which really got me thinking. I like games that make me think, so that was a pleasurable experience. The story was messy and complicated-I don’t mean that to say that the story wasn’t a good one, but that the story took turns that weren’t fairly-tale, and made the player actually feel a little sad or unhappy about the way events were going, which is a good way to make a game feel more real, despite the obviously far-fetched premis.
The game mechanics is the main part of the game that really impressed me, however. I will fully admit, I am not a particularly good gamer, despite love of video games. This means that when a game has overly-complex controls and gameplay, I am often unable to keep up. When I first realized that it was a control/strategy based game, I was concerned that I would be unable to enjoy it, as I had previously experienced games that followed that structure and did not work out well. However, the command mechanics were surprisingly fluid, simple, and yet complex enough to provide a high level of strategy in the gameplay. Going into focus mode to make commands slows down time significantly, but time is still moving-which means that you still need to make quick decisions. Yet, you have time to think and plan.
Conclusion: Overall, I greatly enjoyed this game. The storyline did not blow my mind, nor did the graphics-so I would not put it in my top 20, but it certainly was a highly enjoyable game that I would reccommend as a good romp into alien warfare.
