Warhammer 40,000: Chaos Gate

THE EMPEROR ORDERS YOU TO BUY!

This game is very janky at times, but it absolutely dripping with personality, charm and 2nd edition Oldhammer 40k style. The art is great, the voice lines are cheesy but memorable, and the soundtrack is excellent and befits the setting well. The Xcomlike format works incredibly well, as you sort your Space Marines into squad roles befitting their stats, become attached to them, promote them to Terminators, rage when they die to 20 consecutive frag grenades from a bunch of cultists you didn't see, then name your IRL character models after them to immortalize their mighty deeds and ignominious deaths. Uh, the game isn't balanced either. My friend's campaign ended with him juicing up his best Assault Marine with gear and psychic blessings to give him a ton of bonus AP, and sending this absolute gigachad sailing across the huge, fortified chaos wasteland of the final level with his jump pack, kicking down Lord Zymran's door and absolutely murdering him on Turn 1.
