How it feels

A frantic, bloody turn-based tactical game where you command small squads in desperate, strategic firefights against monstrous foes.

What players say

Players praise the tactical combat as a solid Gears-themed XCOM-like, but the game is dragged down by a thin story, repetitive side missions, mandatory hero units that replace customized soldiers, and a broken endgame. Many also report being locked out by the Xbox account login requirement.
