Really digging this, it's a top-down squad level RTS - pretty much what i was actually looking for when i picked up Survivor Squad. Lots of gribblies to shoot, lots of fast-paced on-the-fly squad tinkering (you can swap out weapon loadouts instantly as you are playing between squad members) It seems silly in terms of realism, but given the pace of the game (particularly once you get to later levels or try some of the more advanced skirmish maps, which you can make as hard or easy as you want) you'll understand why. You roam the map taking down alien hives, every few you kill the enemy gets a random mutation to make things more difficult, some are awkward, some are devestating, some are pointless without other mutations, but it keeps things fresh figuring out the tech buildings you need to use or the equiptment you need to take in order to counter the new mutation.

Highly recommended, i'd dearly love to see a sequel to this, preferably with an even larger and more varied tech tree to unlock with my hard earned cash - it seems a bit too easy at the moment to just grind mid-level repeatable "search and destroy" missions to unlock everything pretty fast.

Absolutely worth your time, highly recommended!
