How it feels

A methodical turn-based tactical game where you manage global strategy and direct squad firefights with destructible terrain and improving soldiers.

What players say

Players are sharply split: some enjoy the moddable difficulty and familiar XCOM-style combat, but many more call it a cash grab that copies the first game with worse graphics, no story, buggy AI, crashes, and missing UI basics like tooltips and hotkeys. Long-time series fans especially say the original is better.
