Feb. 2026

it's 7/10 game bad things: - ms account is required - very limited amount of unique missions - the item system is boring, the endless stream of things which are mostly +5% to some stat - the skill tree is boring, would be better if the game has a reduced set with skills which affect a gameplay in a significant way - the cooldown system for skills and grenades doesn't work in most missions because there is no turn limit

My #1 favorite X-COM type game of all-time. Very good difficulty balance on Insane mode. I'd love a sequel.

Dec. 2025

Recommended not just for fans of Gears of War, but also for turn based strategy fans as well. Although, my favorite will always be Mutant Year Zero, this game is still a worthwhile pick up.

Sept. 2025

Better than some of the originals.... I have played all of the Gears of Wars and this in some aspect love the way the combat is. I have played all of the XCOM's and Wasteland releases, I loved all of those game titles as well. This has the same mechanics as those other games and loving the story behind this entirely. You are playing fighting against the Locusts and to eliminate them just like any other Gears of War game, however the stories are starting to get repetitve on the aspect that they are starting to run out of ideas to continue the games saga. In my opinion, this game is worth the buy ONLY if this is on a sale.

May 2025

I'm not sure why the X-COM nerds feel the need to downgrade this game. This is not better or worse than X-Com. This is simply a different game. Personally I love X-Com you can check my library. I have X-Com and the DLCs. This game if you don't compare it to X-Com is a very good game. I love the Jack addition and it's updates. Don't be that guy/gal that rates a game based on X-Com. Enjoy similar games that are simply different. FFS.
