it gets kind of frustrating when you start facing harder enemies that take lots of laser blasts to kill. all in all a fun game especially for those who prefer to use controller

I love this game. The combat & strategy reminds me a lot of the game Gladius, which is one of my top 3 favs of all time. Playing Xcom on ironman mode on the hardest difficulty level is so stupidly hard it's pretty much ridiculous.

I have went through a few playthroughs and still occasionally saw a new map. But yes, it was mostly the same recycled maps each playthrough. They did have different enemy spawn points each time though, which kept it kinda fresh.

My snipers were bad arse. I'd take two on pretty much every mission and let them wreck shop. Even without getting to high ground to get that bonus, they still would do great damage with every shot. They would get about 70% of all my squads kills.

Been working like crazy recently and haven't played anything in like two weeks.

So I'm really looking forward to starting this game over this three day weekend. If Yahtzee gave it a good review, I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it.
