this game is like XCOM only you only seem to control guys from a more over the shoulder perspective but for some reason its a lot slower...

i spend a ridiculous amount of time staring at nothing while the enemy moves unseen, and it doesn't let me speed it up...

I'm likely going to buy this game, since it's Intelligent Systems but idk. I'm hoping that it's actually difficult and has more strategy than the recent X-Com game did. It never felt like the terrain actually affected anything since it would just get destroyed the second anyone fired anything.

this remains true in project steam im afraid, in fact it seems like terrain is even more irrelevant due to the abundant explosive rounds. and it's pretty weird that overwatch lets you take MULTIPLE actions now instead of just one...

but honestly the thing that's killing it for me is it just takes SO LONG for the enemy's turn... so crazy loving long...

kind of had a feeling this game would turn out bad. hopefully the full version is better.

you know how in xcom you'll watch aliens move around from your top down view? well its kind of like that only since you have a over the shoulder perspective you dont see anything unless its in your field of view. so if the full version just gives me a button so i don't have to stare at NOTHING HAPPENING for 17 seconds (i timed it) after i move closer against a full map of enemies, it might be fun.

have you tried xenonauts? i thought that game was pretty fun despite my guys being utterly incapable of figuring out how to throw grenades in interior environments.

Idk how it plays but from everything I've seen of it the art design is absolute rear end

It's actually comparable to Valkyria Chronicles rather than either the old or new X-COM.

New XCOM stinks though.

I mean it was okay, but it had a few big issues that prevented me from really loving it.

From the demo the game seems like it could be fun. I agree the art looks like rear end though.
