The verdict
A deep, funny XCOM-meets-JA2 squad tactics game with great mercs, exploration and mods. Skip it if you hate hidden stats, RNG misses, opaque onboarding or want working co-op.
Great for
JA2 and XCOM fans who like planning fights, managing mercs and money, and modding
Main risk
Opaque systems, punishing economy and RNG misses can frustrate before the game clicks
