TL;DR Amazing tactics game with an early access model done right This is by far the best early access experience I've ever had with a game. Regular updates and communication on planned features with meaningful new features/reworks. The game it's self will feel somewhat familiar to tactics/xcom players but is uniquely it's own. It feels visceral the feedback of the visuals and audio are very well done. Fun to play…

An incomplete product that offers more content than most AAA games do at launch. Mechanics and descriptions could be explained better, Portraits are clearly not finished and as the game says itself; it's basically only reached the mid game by the time all content is revealed to you. Its fascinating that its aesthetic of early 2000s military hardware is somewhat unique to it despite the starship troopers formula…

The game is absolutely excellent but the lack of mid mission save (or at least save on exit) is unforgivable. I've basically given up playing the game because my sessions get interrupted frequently and I just have to quit mid mission
