"Interesting take on the x-com franchise"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I've been a fan of the x-com franchise for a long time and I was interested to see how it work in this form- taking away the turn based strategy element (it had been done before- badly, with x-com enforcer).

2K have made a well paced game with an interesting story. The combat system is pretty good with the way you control your team mates and the skill trees are decent, as are the choice based dialogues outside of battle- though I did miss certain things like the research elements and ufo missions.

Overall, I enjoyed the experience and the game has ok replay value but it was a bit short for my liking (though that does kind of fit with the urgency of the story) and the cut-scenes were a bit buggy at times.

"Average"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you want a connection or anything to do with the other games from the X-Com series, then you will be sadly disappointed. Story and gameplay are average, and the range of tactical ability falls short of the games counterparts, Very similar to brothers in arms, Just with aliens. 5/10

"Worth the $9.95"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I'm a big XCOM fan from way back in 91. Love my strategy games. Very much like a Brothers in Arms but with aliens. Strategy Squad based game. Love the battle wheel, bought a change from many games. Nice pace to upgrade weapons. Put on hardest level is definitely challenging. Too much boring dialog cut scenes, Thank God for “skip”. Game too short though. Could have been twice as long
