Early Access Review
As many reviews will say, this has echos of Xcom and Syndicate.
It starts with an overhead map 'hub' where missions appear over time. Completing them earns money and shifts the favour of one or more of the five major corporations. Being liked by a corporation gives buffs.
There is a small RPG factor to the squad management. Hire new units and upgrade armour or weapons.
Items can be found in chests during gameplay (although not equipped until back at the barracks).
You need to give your squad time to heal which can lead to financial issues (they still want paying weekly), corporation favour dropping, more missions appearing and things generally getting trickier.

Overall is quite fun. The AI can be a little dim but that is being worked on.
I am slightly concerned about it getting too samey. So far all the missions I have done have been in the 'Slums' and are all made from the same basic blocks. I am hoping it will bring in other districts with new texture pallets.
It is also desperately crying out for an in-game map while playing the missions. It is very easy to get lost.
