Ever played Final Fantasy Tactics? This is waaay better! Manage your soldiers, assign new abilities as they increase in rank, build their weapons and shoot some aliens! No two matches feel the same, as the AI offers new challenges every time: as soon as you begin to feel comfortable there comes along a new species, forcing you to rethink your approach. What's better is that there is no single way to play the game, but you have to adapt to your base layout and to your soldiers' classes. Immersive game world, very detailed but not hard on your computer specs, so it's always very smooth. Beyond base management, research and engineering the battlefield is the game's strong point, and I guarantee you'll think the AI cheats when your colonel misses a 95% shot, and you'll swear and shout at the screen whenever your squad faces unforeseen annihilation; you will cry like a baby girl when you meet the Sectopod! Yeah, it's that immersive.
Also consider getting the Enemy Within DLC, it expands the game adding maps and features like genetic mods and freakin' MECHS! Worth having but pricey, maybe wait for a sale as the base game is fine as it is, and that's saying A LOT in these days.
