Underwater Wars
Awesome game, very relaxing and nostalgic if you like xcom terror from the deep. Easy to learn, still in early access so they’ll add more skirmish maps soon. I love skirmish mode. Take your time and enjoy some underwater combat.

TLDR: Despite its uncommon setting, this tactical game is dogged by uninspired design. The poor voice over, boring missions and absence of narrative cripple it in a competitive and already crowded genre.
I’ve always had a soft spot for seafaring type games, be they on the surface (Pirates, Sunless Sea) or beneath it (Terror from the deep), so I originally had high hopes for Underwater Wars. Unfortunately I have never reviewed a game where I could only find one good point to highlight…
- Turn-based submarine combat, and the underwater setting

The Protagonist: EX-1
This is a really solid little early access tactical turn-based shooter. The graphics and audio are both pleasing and the combat and crafting are addictive and satisfying. I do wish that the gameplay was quicker and more difficult though.
All-in-all, for $13 this game is definitely worth it. Check out my full review here!–-v

**This is an excerpt of my much more detailed review and analysis, that you can find here (ENG & DE) and also as Video below.

Opinion and conclusion**
Overall, I find the combination of Early Access and RPG a bit difficult. Because you usually play through RPGs only once because of the story and a later re-run after Early Access is rather unlikely. I would prefer internal beta testing and a proper release here.

Xenonauts
More faithful than the modern XCOM games. You can build multiple bases to your own style and needs! Multiple drop ships, not a single one and an anthill for you to save the world with. Troops are expendable like they should be! Yay!
Eagerly awaiting the sequel, and hopefully eventual Terror From the Deep spiritual successor.
Only thing letting it down is lack of final polish - quicksave works, quickload doesn’t for some reason, and there’s a few minor glitches like the camera being stuck panning in a direction after an alien turn which requires a quick reload to fix, etc. Sometimes the AI acts a little omnipotent, such as sitting in a corner in a building never moving until the moment you get close enough for it to take a fair shot at your soldiers and then dip back into cover again, even though it shouldn’t have known you were there.

Good: Mostly faithful recreation of XCOM UFO Defense but with significantly better controls and a cool Cold War setting. No class restrictions like Firaxis XCOM and fewer restrictions in general. You make your own classes. Four gun and explosive tiers.
Nice, detailed lore with the Xenopaedia. Great music overall. Overall good weapon design, with humans getting their own distinctly designed plasma weapons. Sound effects are fantastic, especially for high level weapons and explosions. They even have different sounds for the weapon reloads.

XCOM®: Chimera Squad
Very enjoyable fun, especially if you’re a fan of X-Com, with some new and different mechanics and management system, and some excellent combat fun. Playing is a Viper is so rad.
Pretty good replay-ability (I’m on my second play-through now, and quite like the little differences in the way the story unfolds depending on which factions and missions you choose to pursue. I love the breach mechanic - both how it looks and how it unfolds, and really like the animation style, cut scenes, etc which have a real graphic novel feel. Would definitely recommend, and I hope there’s further DLC planned for this game!

While I appreciate the diverse cast, and the game mechanics, the game has you playing jack booted thugs killing people, “criminals” with impunity. Instead of fighting terror from previous games, you are fighting anarchy. The fascist message is disturbing. Also, sometimes after you reboot, the game stops opening, and instead of the “play” button, there is only a “buy” button. I’ve already bought the game, I want to play it, not buy it. Lastly, the game offers to let you pick which of the 3 factions to play first, and if you pick the right most faction, the boss is impossible. The internet tells you that you need to pick them from left to right, though nothing in the game lets you know you need to do this.

Invaders from Dimension X
Simple, but surprisingly fun board game. Lots of random results. Graphics could be better, but serviceable. Needs a skirmish mode or a way to generate random scenarios, as there are only several pre-made scenarios to choose from.
Other features I’d like to see: map board zoom in/out and co-op multiplayer mode

After some research about solo board games (Spring 2020, confinement time), I discovered Tiny Battle Publishing and was pleasantly surprised to discover this digital adaption of one of their titles. This is a fun light solo wargame, with some original ideas (the way the aliens activate is interesting). The gameplay presents an interesting mix of randomness (the dice combat, the order of Alien Activation Events) and strategy (example: you have a little bit of control on events with scouting). I had to play some times before winning my first victory on normal (and I appreciate that). Only two maps (with two levels of difficulty), but the various random factors give the game more replayability. There is no tutorial (some help accessible inside the game), it’s really useful to read the short manual. The interface is a little basic (not much options), but functional. The art on the cards is very nice, better than the illustrations of the original board game. The full price on Steam is maybe a little high (from a Canadian perspective) but there are sales (I bought it in an other store). I like the sci-fi b-movie theme and would like to see more games like this one.

UFO2: Extraterrestrials
Well I liked many things about this game:
a) it is loyal to the original UFO as in it allows micro-managing action points and individual actions
b) it is loyal to the original UFO as it allows for reaction shots
c) it is loyal to the original UFO as it allows the construction and development of multiple bases
What I disliked was definitely not important enough to shun the game:
a) There is no clear technology unlock requirements. I was left wondering and googling many times what would unlock a certain technology.

I found this to be a quite a bit of fun. The aliens actually have some decorum of intelligence, will hide and ambush, and will even lob a grenade at the most inconvenient of moments.
There are some bugs, got a couple of my soldiers stuck a few times, nothing game breaking so far. However, in my life I have never seen a “perfect” launch with absolutely no issue whatsoever, so I will just be patient and wait for the updates.
My only gripe thus far is the Photon Rifle…. Was anticipating it to be a pleasant upgrade… First of all, holy crap 30 weight rifle?!? Had to make my soldiers do extra push up just to pick it up without encumber penalty. Finally equipped it on my strongest soldier, thinking if this things this heavy I can only imagine what it will do…. Went tactical, found my first victim and decided to fire it aimed (I wanted to see the carnage!) I of course hit the little alien bastard dead on… for 6 damage. Just enough to probably make him giggle like the Pilsbury Dough Boy. Fired it a few more times, a varying aliens, and had a damage range of 4 to 18. Starter rifles with AP do more damage. Maybe its a balance issue, maybe that’s how its intended? Maybe the RNG deities just hate me today. In any case,, this game is still worth every penny to purchase if you like the feel of classic Xcom.

Galaxy Squad
This game is fantastic, get it, you won’t regret it. It has a little FTL and a lot of X-Com, and IMHO is faster and funner to play. If you like single-player, turn-based, strategic, tactical, team-based, isometric shooters, with a bit of pressure to keep you moving (ala FTL), e.g., running from the Federation Police after your big heist, then, for the price, you can’t beat this game. It is definitely a one-more-click kind of game and I stayed up three nights in a row until 4am playing. There are a few minor issues/bugs, which Oleg, the Dev, is fixing quickly in patches (three in just the first 14 days).
– Real player with 73.0 hrs in game
TLDR: Galaxy Squad is a multilayered, rogue-like space RPG with tactical turn-based battles. While it shows promise, lots of work still needs to be done.
-
I like the idea of “multiple layers” in gameplay. i.e. there is a strategic map layer, an exploration layer (space docks, where you re-supply and get quests, etc.) and a tactical combat layer. Not many games do this (probably due to the challenge and amount of work), and fewer do it well.
-
The LoS combat system is functional, but needs work and refining. Combat and survival in this game is HIGHLY dependant on LoS and moving from cover to cover. Ignore this and you will get your a** shot off. Often.
