This game was a great surprise, I am normally not a fan of turnbased games, but this is much more than that. Each choice you make affects you down the road. So far I have restarted the game about 10 times and each time has been fun. I find myself sifting through saves to find a point to start over from to achieve a better future for my HQ.

Good randomization/customization for soldiers. Random events/maps/enemies, lots of choices on tech upgrades, base layouts/build orders etc... Honestly if I were rich, I would buy this game for everyone to enjoy. After the VERY FIRST mission you will be hooked.

The only cons I have so far is the bugs and the tutorial being so darn long. A few annoying bugs are command based, like I can move (if not dashing) and heal a soldier, but I cannot heal then move them. Same thing for reloading, smoking, tossing radar nades etc.
