Good fun this. Hope they make some of it
Really polished xcom-lite style game with some free roam puzzle sections. I enjoyed this a lot, it’s not super long and would have been happy to put in a few more missions. The combat is VERY xcom like if a little lighter, though it does throw in armour/weapon bonus types which lets you be strategic. The free roam sections are fairly basic but serviceable. Lot of it is swapping between the two main characters to solve environmental puzzles to progress. Nothing super to write home about here, but you do get a lot of extra weapons which make it worthwhile. The story in my opinion is excellent. No question it borrows heavily from the Ol' Arnie movie Running Man but that’s really movie and premise so not going to complain. IMPORTANT, download the free extension DLC before you start. It adds an extra level into the late game and comes with some new goodies and story elements. Worked this out after and its kind of jarring going back and playing essentially the penultimate mission. There is a rather silly fame rating system that if you demonstrate different attributes to fans, you get different buffs. Thats take it or leave really. In the end, if you want to play good solid, turn based strategy game with a really good story, you could do a lot worse.
Is this helpful to you?
