What players say
Players praise the music and atmosphere, and many compare it favorably to XCOM. The game removes random hit chance and has a strategic macro layer with an Awakening meter that can force the endgame early. Players are split on the variety, as missions feel repetitive and the campaign is short for some, but the upgrade system and build options keep it engaging.
