I'm a bit of a rookie with squad based tactical shooters/third person cover shooters (GoW, etc) but this has a nice balance of getting the job done yourself and commanding your squaddies. it's an actually decently creative take on the xcom universe but through new medium. might rub me right because i like the late 1950's falloutyish retroishness, but there's enough attention to detail and involvement with me as the player to make it feel like a pseudo RPG. easily exceeding my low expectations so far
