Jan. 2025
This game is a really fun turn-based tactical shooter. However, it falls apart at the higher difficulties due to the alarm mechanic which forces a slower turn based gameplay into a rush as more enemies pile in which can quickly overwhelm you. This is even worse towards the end of the game as you get enemies which can teleport and shoot on the same turn with two or three enemies spawning each turn. This game definitely rewards quicker strategy over slow turn based turtling combat like XCOM. The 100% for this is also really difficult with the whole game being required to be completed on the highest difficulty with no mission failures, all missions fully completed, and in 800 turns or less across the whole game.

Imagine Worms, but XCOM, but also very unique It's casual enough to play after work, but in depth enough to not feel cheap - it's truly a gem ❤️ a game made with love for people to have fun, we don't get many of those nowadays Can't wait to get the sequel!

Another great game from the Steamworld series. Heist is a tactical 2D turn-based RPG with manual aiming and plenty of different characters to play with. New abilities for each character are unlocked when they level up and you can find new weapons and equipment in stores or by collecting crates in each level. Most of the levels are random generated, and while the objectives could have used a bit more variation, the gameplay is so much fun that this game is a blast to finish. Very recommended!

This game has been such a treat so far. It’s a 2D turn based game very much inspired by games like XCom that just take outs much of the RNG elements that the genre has and just says “Aight ok the RNG is YOUR aim”. Also if you are a fan of Worms the combat turns are basically like that, and you can personalize everything from your crew, their load outs, weapons and even their hats :3 Very cool game, very much excited for the sequel later this year.

One of my all-time faves. Incredible game. Elite difficulty was really well balanced (not too hard, but not too easy). Some missions took dozens of tries such as the Red Queen battle and the one where you have to survive 10 turns with an endless wave of enemies spawning and teleporting everywhere. However, although tough, every single attempt was fun and rewarding even after 20+ deaths. Very rare for a game to still remain fun after that many failed attempts. Will buy the sequel on day one.
