A mechanically adept but disappointingly hollow take on the x-com genre.
A mechanically adept but disappointingly hollow take on the x-com genre.
In the trivial future-war fiction which serves as set dressing for its battlefields of game reviews, soldiers have been remote-controlled machines. These humanoid husks are lacking humanity, unmanned units developed to be disposable as they struggle with the 2nd American civil warfare. Both sides sport showy three-letter initials, both the NAC (New Council) as well as the UPA (United Peoples of America), their full names examining for example soulless company think tanks, their motivations as obvious while they have been forgettable. Actual men and women are apparently absent in this particular struggle. Lifelessness permeates the full experience, sapping all interest in what is an otherwise accomplished strategic combat game reviews.
