I have never seen a tactics game that so compellingly models modern warfare and combined arms. The gamefeel is excellent, the characters are charming, and the aesthetics have this great Aliens and 90s action movie thing going on. Just really happy to see another great game coming from Overhype, who made Battle Brothers, one of my very favorite turn-based tactics games.

In general, I really like how the demo supports a variety of builds while still remaining challenging. Even after all the runs I've done I still lose sometimes, but can also win on the highest difficulty. There's sort of too much to say about how it works as a system and what I like and don't about it, but it does maybe the most important thing so very well - moment to moment it feels excellent to move your little guys around and shoot their guns. pew pew

I'll have to give this a try. Love me a turn based war game.

I've mostly been dumping free time on work days into gem mine TD (it's like the old warcraft 3 gem Tower defense map but with a couple of changes).

Not that I need another game to play right now. Power wash 2 is out today after all.
