A tactical/third person shooter hybrid that is reminiscent of X-COM. Gameplay encourages you to think tactically and plan ahead and it is very rewarding to see your strategy play out and succeed. Each squad member is a unique character with their own backstory and personality and there are many to choose from, allowing you to craft your optimal squad that is able to effectively handle the environment of any particular stage. Some stages allow you to approach them anyway you like, while others seem to heavily favor one playstyle over the other. The main story is lengthy and took me around 30 hours to complete. Skirmish and DLC battles (no extra cost) add several more hours as well as being able to replay the main story with NG+. The story is nothing special but the gameplay is unique and engaging. Its definitely worth your time and money. 4/5
