How it feels

A tense, tactical turn-based squad combat game where you lead outnumbered soldiers through grueling ship-to-ship battles against a genetically bred alien foe.

What players say

Players see Strike Team Hydra as a solid but rough XCOM-lite, stripped of base building but offering many soldier classes. Common complaints are frequent crashes and a sense that the game never got polished past a mobile port, while fans praise the streamlined tactical combat and 30-40 hours of content at a low price.
