-Base management, research etc, is not that engaging, it boils down to tactical. I think the game gets way too much attention than it deserves. The 1960's Aesthetic ad art is the one thing it got right. I totally love the cold war 1960's feel to this game. The backstory is also nice. It altogether feels very cohesive, but a bit rough.
I'd reccomend Silent Storm Sentinels over this or even Abomination (Hot House) UFO Afterlight and Aftershock patched and modded also better. Or Even Odium (Gorky 17) Visually it looks a whole heck of a lot like XCOM Apocalypse. But it has nowhere near the same kind of complexity.
If you like XCOM you are probably going to play it and that's that.
