This game has a steep difficulty curve when starting out, but becomes immensely worth once you grasp the core mechanics of the game. The game loop is addictive, and feels refreshing every new start. Though, RNG still plays a part in the game, where a winning position will still result with casualties which is annoying. So keep that in mind that not every run is going to be perfect. Don't be like me who was hard to myself for not being able to beat easy mode ദ്ദി ≧ ⠈≦) Overall a very solid game, and the gameplay being like a chess puzzle for nerds is just peak. The character interaction is also a fun addition, I love how the civilians make a comment based on my play, it feels like I am part of the world where consequences are dire. 10/10 would buy again, Huge salute to the developers who made this wonderful game◝(ᵔᗜᵔ)◜
I usually don't like turn based strategy games, but this one sucked me in for some reason. Very much enjoy playing this while listening to a podcast.
There's probably a lot good about this game, but I hated it. If you want a roguelike game where you can screw up in a single mission and waste a load of time then this if for you. It's heavy duty and complex. There's a degree of RNG that people claim to be able to mitigate, I was unable to get around it. I just found the whole thing incredibly unsatisfying and irritating. If you've played something like Tactical Breach Wizards or other tactics games, this is nothing like them, do not assume liking those games will get you into this.
