Great start, boring middle
Game starts great. Interesting story, basic but "cool" characters. This is 100% linear xcom - you do not choose missions, just go through them 1 by 1. Gameplay is like Mutant Year Zero - you go through map in real time, and when you meet enemy, xcom-like turn-based combat starts (you can also split team or try to sneak but it is very basic, hard and can only help you get better positions pre-fight, rather than avoiding fight completely). There is no EXP. You "level-up" through weapons and bio-crystals you find. Bio-crystals increase your AP, HP, Accuracy or Dodge and majority of them have extra passive buffs/debuffs or active skills. Some are totally op, like allowing you to attack twice with 1 attack, but most is completely useless. Sometimes you find alien artifacts on map which allow you to unlock 2-3 slots for more biocrystals (you can "spend" unlocks and choose which character should have his slot unlocked and how many). Warning: some characters leave your team later, so be wise who gets slots unlocks to not waste them. You cannot sell unnecessary weapons. Ammo is very limited and many times I had to stop using new cool weapon and go back to basic pistol because I did not have enough ammo. You can craft ammo and medkits but resources are very scarce and there is barely enough to craft few rounds for next fight and you are constantly low on scrap which is necessary for most of crafting projects. Unfortunately after few first hours game gets very repetitive. I pushed myself to finish it just to see how story unfolds but it was road through hell. There were leveles where there was one fight after another without any story or interesting pick-ups in between. You fight same enemy types with same weapons and same characters, only thing changing are arenas. If you loved Mutant Year Zero or XCOM - try it. But in my opinion this is one-time-only adventure. I am too tired to ever go back to this game again. And story was not that interesting in the end :(
