a competent game but lacks personality
The game definitely pays homage to X-COM and has the same technical underpinnings. However, there is little else beyond that. The resolution is higher than the original game but lacks the original's style and presentation. There are sequences of music and acceptable sound effects, but the atmosphere of the game as a whole is very dry. There's not really even any sort of intro to get your juices flowing (unless you read the accompanying novella), you're just dropped right into the geoscape. Other than minor attempts at humor in the text (and there's a lot of text), it comes off as less game and more simulation. To be fair, it does bill itself as a simulation. Unfortunately, unless that's your thing, it's about as fun to play as an accounting game. I'm afraid this is one of those few GOG impulse buys that I am regretting. Supporting a kickstarter developer at a value price is one thing, but I probably should have just saved up for XCOM 2 at full price to get the kind of strategic alien combat entertainment with all the bells and whistles a modern-day gamer expects.
