  • The game offers tactical turn-based combat similar to XCOM with challenging and engaging squad customization and skill progression.
  • Free-to-play with no mandatory microtransactions initially, allowing players to enjoy the tactical gameplay and multiplayer features.
  • The base building and research provide additional strategic depth, and multiplayer modes like PvP and coop add replayability.
  • Severe optimization issues and bugs cause frequent crashes, long load times, unresponsive UI, and freezing making the game frustrating to play.
  • Balance problems with overly strong AI and pay-to-win mechanics heavily impact progression and PvP matchmaking fairness, causing new players to struggle.
  • Lack of polish with poor animations, voice acting, unclear tutorials, confusing UI, broken cover and hit mechanics, and repetitive mission design.

    The story is generally viewed as minimal and largely serving as background flavor, with little character development or engaging narrative elements. Many players find the missions repetitive and disconnected, lacking meaningful plot progression or dialogue, while the difficulty spikes and game mechanics overshadow the storyline. Although the premise has potential, the narrative execution is seen as underdeveloped and overshadowed by gameplay and balance issues.

    • “Main storyline mission would not end even after killing all enemies, looked every crevice of map for 100 turns and nothing.”
    • “The story isn’t very important and serves as a backdrop; the gist of it is: alien ships start crashing on Earth, different governments hire mercenaries to go and loot the wrecks for them. That’s really about it, otherwise the story is just flavor text before missions.”
    • “After 'tutorial' mission you can play either side tasks, daily missions, repeatables or story missions - you go into those and you don't know what to do really, or if you should hurry.”
  • gameplay

    The gameplay shows potential with tactical, turn-based mechanics inspired by X-COM and some variety in classes and customization, but it suffers from numerous bugs, unbalanced or poorly implemented systems (especially cover mechanics), and pay-to-win elements that undermine strategy. Many players find it repetitive, lacking depth, and frustrating due to bugs and design flaws, though some appreciate its accessibility and early access status with room for improvement. Overall, the gameplay is currently underwhelming but might improve with further updates.

    • “The different classes and subclasses are fun to play and offer a lot of variety in style and gameplay, that's cool.”
    • “Lovely tactical game with unique X-com mechanics and a wonderful cast of characters.”
    • “Has no free-to-play energy system to limit gameplay time, is in early access (meaning it can only go up from here), upgrading skill tree for all operatives on a squad, operatives cannot die (some may not see this as a feature, but for accessibility to new players it is nice not having to start all over again), variation of AI behavior (sometimes aggressive, sometimes passive, sometimes bloodthirsty, or screening for their own operative capturing the objective), some shots can be made guaranteed (100% hit chance) via skill or positioning, quite a bit of customization to the characters' equipment (scopes, barrel, etc.), 3 different factions, and a seemingly endless supply of missions both PvE and PvP.”
    • “Game is buggy, boring, super repetitive, almost zero mechanics.”
    • “The cover mechanic in this game isn't functioning properly and suddenly summoning 4 high HP enemies on easy difficulty missions right after the prologue is really annoying.”
    • “Gameplay is a horrible copy of XCOM titles, but dumbed down to pay-to-win mechanics (healing, gear, ammunition).”
  • graphics

    The game's graphics receive mixed reviews, with some praising the overall visuals and character designs as good or great, especially compared to similar titles, while others criticize the graphics as generic, blurry, and low-quality with frequent bugs and performance issues. Many note basic or lacking graphical options and occasional glitches, leading to a perception that the visuals feel closer to a mobile game rather than a polished PC title.

    • “The rest of the game looks good, the graphics suitable for an online project, the plot even looks thoughtful, the weapon is similar to the real one and is varied.”
    • “Compared to XCOM, the game loses in design, but in my opinion wins in graphics quality.”
    • “The graphics are pretty good, and it's in a 20th/21st century style, at least the tropical levels.”
    • “Graphics are generic, and overall the game turns out pretty bland despite the XCOM resemblances.”
    • “(At highest quality graphic settings) I order the guy to fire... he waits 45 seconds with an invisible rifle.”
    • “This trash is on Unity, and it means low graphics, very slow loading and playing, and glitches, tons of glitches.”
  • stability

    The game is widely criticized for being extremely buggy, with frequent crashes, freezes, and unaddressed glitches that severely impact playability. While some users acknowledge it is still in beta or early access, many feel it was rushed to market and lacks polish, making it frustrating and unstable compared to similar titles.

    • “I love the XCOM series and have hundreds of hours (on console), but I can see this isn't; it's way too buggy. I should have checked to see the dev hasn't done anything to fix the game in at least a year.”
    • “First of all, this is not a review of the game, this is a big warning for new players... I have played lots of early access games but never saw such a buggy and bad game in my life. Before coming to Steam, I got the invisible character bug, reported it with all information, and it hasn't been fixed for months!”
    • “Also, the game freezes or loops every single time, either in the PvP match or right after it.”
  • grinding

    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is intense and time-consuming, requiring extensive hours or real money to progress, with limited daily mission attempts and resource constraints creating a frustrating cycle. While PvE battles are fast and can be challenging, progression heavily depends on repetitive grinding for gear and consumables, often leading to a tedious experience compounded by permanent losses in PvP. Overall, the grind is seen as a major barrier that detracts from enjoyment despite some rewarding moments.

    • “Tried grinding through and making more resources to fix initial mistakes, but you can only do a few missions a day, and can't improve anything without the missing resources... 'catch 22'.”
    • “You can't get anywhere unless you spend a lot of money or spend around 600-800 hours of grinding.”
    • “Eventually grinding gets from PvE to PvP, and then your soldiers get killed permanently so that you should grind up XP of new soldiers some more.”
  • monetization

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    14% positive mentions, 29% neutral mentions, 57% negative mentions

    The monetization is heavily criticized for being pay-to-win, with non-cosmetic microtransactions disrupting game balance. Despite being free-to-play, players feel the game prioritizes profit over fair gameplay, likening it to a mobile cash grab driven by aggressive advertising.

    • “Free to play with in-game purchases”
    • “Your time is more valuable than 'free' and the non-cosmetic microtransactions make it inevitably pay to win.”
    • “Looks and feels like a mobile cash grab.”
    • “This game is a full pay2win cash grabber.”
  • optimization

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 16% neutral mentions, 67% negative mentions

    The game's optimization is generally poor, with users reporting slow and clunky performance due to a badly unoptimized engine. It suffers from bugs and lacks smooth gameplay, significantly impacting the overall experience.

    • “It could definitely use some optimization though.”
    • “It's slow, clunky, poorly optimized, and has an unbalanced progression system that leans on micro-transactions for 'pay to win.'”
    • “Badly unoptimized engine.”
    • “Performance is not good right now.”
  • humor

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    80% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 20% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is a mixed bag, featuring some genuinely funny and clever dialogue alongside moments of unfunny, monotone delivery. Voice acting ranges from hilariously bad to charmingly quirky, adding an unintended comedic element that players often find entertaining despite—or because of—its roughness.

    • “A few voices are decent and some dialogues are funny (an enemy told me to shoot him instead of a bomb he was next to. 'Kill me, sure, but give me an open casket at least!' I actually laughed and obliged, going the whole level without shooting any of the explosives littered around).”
    • “Hilarious voice acting and voice lines.”
    • “The voice acting ranged from hilarious but terrible to downright horrific but this is a Russian dev and it’s early access so that’s fine.”
    • “The first mission is basically listening to monotone, unfunny jokes and playing with airsoft guns.”
  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The music in the game is largely a cover of Brad Fiedel's Terminator theme, which some find repetitive due to limited variation. Additionally, the loading screen music loops continuously without clear progress indicators, affecting the overall user experience. Performance optimization related to music playback is also lacking.

    • “The main music theme is just a cover of Brad Fiedel's Terminator theme.”
    • “As the loading screen kept cycling and music kept playing, there was no progress bar or indication that it was stuck.”
    • “Performance-wise, it's not well optimized at all. The music is tolerable but could use more variation.”
  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The game offers strong replayability through experimenting with different class combinations and unlocking new dialogue sequences, with increased enjoyment as players become familiar with its mechanics.

    • “Lots of replay value to try different combinations of classes and unlock new dialogue sequences.”
    • “Once you get to know its mechanics, it becomes a bit more playable.”
