Just finished Warhounds on Normal play level. I've been playing tactical turn based games since I got my shareware copy of the original X-com in my PCGamer magazine. I found it to be an enjoyable game that definitely scratched that X-Com itch. Of course, it's no X-Com2: War of the Chosen, but then again, what is? I thought it was a little short, though. The story played through pretty well and it was an interesting take on modern day factions. The price was right as I purchased it right after release. While I was reading existing reviews I was a little baffled regarding some of the negative comments. It does seem to be a re-release of an earlier game (that I looked up after learning of it). I don't speak Russian, so I could really not care less about that. The re-release is polished and it's a great looking game. Some of the voice acting was a little jank... Let's just say that they don't match the chararcter drawings sometimes. ;) There were no hair-pulling RNG silliness moments. Good tactics and unit placement worked as expected on the lethality of the outcomes. Also there were mentions regarding AI? Ok... So what? It's a game that has many forms of artificial intelligence coded into it. I don't get it. it was FUN and the obvious AI bits were appropriately placed and helped to expand the story. :) I did experience a rather infuriating bug during the final battle. My unit was behind cover on a stairway and could not be moved on the next turn. I looked it up and found it identified as "Geometry Tile lockup". It only happened once and a re-load of the area entry auto save game got me past it. Anyway, if you're not a gaming snob and enjoy the tactical turn-based game style for what it is, I highly recommend it for a short distraction.

The technical state is probably the biggest problem. For a 1.0 release, crashes shouldn't be happening. Simple as that. But after the initial frustration, I found myself enjoying the actual game. here should be “yellow finger” :-)

I've seen “it's just XCOM” about 50 times in the reviews. Okay? It's like saying JA3 is “just another turn-based tactics game”. At some point you have to actually play the thing. The basic vocabulary is familiar, sure. But the AP system, cover damage behavior, directional overwatch and visibility rules give it a different feel. And honestly, I don't need every tactics game to reinvent the wheel. Just make the wheel roll nicely. This one does.

The best thing I can say is that I actually remember my soldiers now. Not because they have amazing portraits or anything, but because they talk during missions. They react, they joke around, they feel like a little group of people instead of disposable chess pieces. Please expand this system. Seriously.

Okay game, you got me. I’m ready to forgive you for basically everything after this. Second mission, right after the sniper introduction. Enemy sniper starts his turn, jumps down, takes cover behind an explosive barrel and proceeds to shoot at me from there. He MISSES. Hits the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ barrel instead. The barrel explodes. The sniper dies. And then my merc goes: "That sniper was a pro" I haven’t laughed that hard at a game in the last couple of years 😂 10/10. Never change.
