I recommend gifting this to your rivals.

It's like dope wars meets cookie clicker if it was made by the hacker version of Mulder (who might actually be Neo).

Being the god of revelry is the best.

The story will have you chasing your tail!

Robert Thompson is a stupid name. This ghost probably died of embarrassment.

Over 150 hours in and, finally, I beat the game (on easy).

This game affects me the same way Civilization does. I get really into it for an all day session but then I'm not able to come back for a while. By the time I boot up again, I forgot what I was doing, I realize I don't care about these soldiers anymore (wait,did I make the Heavy class have blue hair or was that the Assualts?), and I decide I better just start over again. Anyway this time I'll do better cause I'll remember to build a satellite nexus (and not just the satellites - doh!).

And I LOVE IT.

It's not without fault; software bugs abound, the UI is mildly annoying, descriptions feel hidden. But it's a fantastic theme wrapped around a much more than 'decent' squad progression system with a min/max resource managment side (with is completely engrossing at times).

I got tense during a few firefights when I had to make the choice between putting my badass vet into a BAD situation (potentially squandering the 20+ missions worth of development he had) or withdrawing and letting the aliens take those hostages (we miss you Dice - you RapTapBang'd with the best).

And there's so much more left to do. Long war looks amazing. I haven't tried Enemy Within yet, or even multiplayer... Does anybody do multiplayer anymore? Am I ever going to get that infected achievement?

No timed chess. Unintuitive interface. Adds a space to the end of the default randomized password it gives you (seriously).

Throughout the entire playthrough I was only given the option to make one decision. One. In an hour and a half. And apparently it was the wrong one which was spoiled for me immediately based on the condescending achievement it unlocked.

Beyond the lack of any actual gameplay in this game, I can't even recommend it as a visual novel. It's got lazy artwork, There were only a handful of backgrounds used, only 5 characters drawn (a few others had lines but the conversations took place out in a hall or something so you are left staring at an empty background for 10 minutes).

The 'animation' was nothing more than moving static images around a few pixels. The entire thing just screamed 'LAZY'. I don't understand all the good reviews this has been getting. Have those reviewers never read a real book or played a game where they had meaningful decisions?

I think I paid $5 for this garbage. If I knew what I was getting I wouldn't have paid anything for it. But even if you are REALLY into crappy visual novels with stupid teenager angsty ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I don't think you should pay more than $0.25 for something this weak.

Fun little game. Wish it had steam achievements.

This doesn't know what kind of art it wants to have.
