like xcom frist person shooter. maybe if i thought i was getting a frist person shooter. but wtf this isnt even close 2 a xcom game,
action not planning no thinking just shootum uppick up bullets like old school zombie game

This is a dated but somewhat fun 3rd person shooter. The 1960s alien invasion aesthetic is always fun, however, this is definitely a failed attempt at capitalizing on XCOMs name.

I enjoyed the story enough and the missions were very straight forward but there were enough abilities with the squad mates that it made the combat fun.

Get this on a sale or not at all.

love this game is amazing honestly would love to see another like this <3

I used to LOVE this game. The 60's vibe with Aliens is so cool!
Wish my PC would run it in 2024 though!
If you can play it, it's a great game!

This reminded me of a mix of Gears of War (with the cover system) and LA Noire (setting) with some XCOM lore thrown in. I don't think this game is cannon, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It's fun and I'd recommend catching it on sale.

overall - I like the atmosphere, combination of the cold war era and X-com aliens. Attention to detail which helps a lot to create the atmosphere - various objects, or discussions among NPCs which complain or comment the actual situation from their perspective.
movement & control - mouse aiming is alright, moving while behind cover or moving from cover to cover, or jumping over cover, you need to use special keys instead of jump, its a bit tricky and to me looks as console controls to do specific movement action you need to press specific key. When you get used to to it, its ok but feels trange on the beginning.
enemies - AI is more or less ok, pathfinding works good majority of the time. They key to survival is movement and as well, luring them for example on you, while they ignore your NPCs agents and they do the hard work. Its a bit harder for them to understand when to stay hidden and when to shoot and when to change location. Later in the game, with better weapons and abilities I have feeling it will become easier.
ABILITIES - they really can make difference in the way how you play. I found fun in using two engeniers with one having rocket turret the other laser turret, placing them on two different sides and let them have fun. While waiting for turrets to do the work, use mines in offensive manner.
STORY - is good, not always you can guess what is going to happen and it is told nicely with various little details if you take care to note. Choices in the dialoge doesnt seem to make any changes on the story, so far as I noticed
