MENACE

The "No" recommendation is for the game in its current state for its current price of $40 and promise to increase price after coming out of Early access. Currently this is a $12-15 game. The gameplay is great. There is a decent amount of content in terms of pilots, content, skills. There's a ton of polish in what already exists. There is a very limited gameplay loop currently. It does not take long to get bored of this. The early access description does promise a campaign in a years time. This is what the game is currently missing and will maybe justify it as a $25-30 game. With updates of the game I will switch to a "yes" recommendation if it justifies a greater price but currently the game is nowhere near the $40+ it's set at. For me I think charge $20 for the game now and then increase the price when you create the campaign but currently it is just too much even though it is a good game already.

Я не живу, я выживаю!© Тактично, стратегично, хтонично, меметично, а уж какой у игры сочный вступительный ролик - уфъ! Если отключить клоунаду: в целом игра уже сейчас содержит достаточно контента, чтоб капитально залипнуть на пару десятков часов, работа над ней ведётся - патчноуты и всякие обновки регулярны, правда ценник чуток кусается, с другой стороны а нафига вам деньги, если они вас не радуют? Короче я поиграл, мне понравилось, потраченных шекелей не жалею.

Game is too tuned even at this point for 'perfect play'. No major investment even on normal that teaches folks how to mitigate squaddie death gradually, and obtaining more of them requires too much tech tree to get extras after successful missions. Cost on the black market of buying more is too high (240) - this may be fixed by tuning this with some 'holy crap you're bad, here's a one time discount and you can only buy it if you've lost some percentage of them option. There is also no 'end campaign' option just to wrap it all up, one just has to start a 'new game' and abandon the old stuff. It's a minor annoyance, and also fixable.

Awesome format that makes you think about terrain and make hard choices that don't always have clear answers. Combat is engaging and dynamic, the variety of units/weapons are great, and the squad leader concept makes each group of soldiers feel unique. Been great updates and communication from the developers as well.

The game is a modernised combination of Fallout: Tactics and XCOM. Impressive effects, good balance, interesting skill/ weapon combinations. Felt really good playing and happy with the price. It does however, feel like it can use a few more skill/ability mechanics in the next patches and more missions. Currently it feels 80-90% complete. The ship can use more skill slots, the SLs a bit more skill variety to increase specialization. The format definitely allows multiplayer, would love to see that.

One of the very best epic TB games out there. Constantly gaining new content & changes & Polished bug fixes no stop & so much more. It doesn't even feel being an Early Access Game anymore. If you get this game, you will be sitting & playing it for hours, days weeks months even. Do not hesitate, it´s a blast & that is a promise! <3 BR AN.

Brutally difficult and unforgiving. Now that's fine for some folks but not my thing. XCOM was fun, I played it endlessly, this is not fun. You get 4 squads before the first mission, I lost 2 squads despite them being behind cover ON THE FIRST MISSION, and I'm really really not new to the genre. Now as I said some folk like to bang their head against a wall for hours on end learning something. But not for me with my limited free time. I've refunded, not to say I won't pick it up again at some point, but it's going to need one hell of a lot of balancing before I do so

So I returned after taking a few month of as you do with early access titles, just for the devs to ad a new SL tax mechanic that punishes not min-maxing. After we went through the self same thing with the whole promotion tax thing!
