“Changing my original review (kept original text below). I absolutely loved this game. Gameplay is solid, and enjoyable. I fell in love with setting, atmosphere and soundtrack. An absolute masterpiece in world-building!…”
“I loved XCOM and its how I found this game, admittedly I was kind of looking for a 'forever' game in XCOM, or like a live-service version that I could grind. This is not that, the enemies are fixed, there's no grind.…”
“this game would be decent if it didnt force you to listen to it's horrible writing and walk so slowly around each corner before walking to intended path. the graphics and animations and mechanics are great, voice actors…”

“Nice game with good but simple strategy mechanics, standart story, pretty graphics and character's development. Don't want to play again but it was quite interesting to play one time”
“I fully recommend the game. Gameplay is good and tactical. Characters are epic. Setting is really cool. Funny when in this postapocalyptic world, a relic of Apple earpods thought to be devices to test ripeness of…”
“Great gameplay and an amazing story. The permadeath mechanic makes the game incredibly fun and highly replayable”

“Nice setting, but despite finishing all the x-com games, I am struggling with this one on easy. Shame, but too frustrating.”
“Great atmosphere. Tense, survival, stalker. Characters whispering so they don't get heard.”

“I enjoy the combat for this game i'm picking up the story slowly. overall i like how challenging this combat system is and i haven't really been paying attention to the story. would like a second game for sure.”
“Went into this game Completely blind, The X-Com Style Combat i Expected, what i didn't expect is some of the most enjoyably challenging Combat and Funniest "Lore" Details I've ever seen. it does have a Stealth Focus on…”

“So far, I'm enjoying this game a lot. Yes it does have elements from XCOM, but that just goes to show how much influence that game has that people are willing to borrow the idea but, not only does it work, but it gives…”
“Honestly an amazing game. Story, music, and gameplay are all engaging. DLC is solid. By the end of the game, I'm craving more and sad there is none. I waited a few years and just replayed the game again. 10/10. Really…”

“Far too hard and frustrating to be fun, and this is coming from someone who enjoyed XCom. Doesn't even attempt to be fair. Do not play unless you want to suffer from high blood pressure and an urge to break things.”

“Not even remotely the greatest tactis. Not a good rpg for sure. Quite messy, especially in visuals. Healing and currency systems are poorly designed. Not much variety in enemies, situations or enything at all to be…”
“Decent game. Was wondering why it was soooo hard and reaslied I was playing it on very hard. Switched it to Easy and now its dead simple. Maybe something a little wrong with the balance there. So far though, I've found…”
“Too focused on one play style; Stealth. There's simply no way of getting anywhere in the game without it, so in this sense, it is NOT like XCOM. Characters and world build is awesome, but in the end, stealth games are…”

“Not the best on any of its genres but it's a good game. After a while you may get bored of going by the same tactic so you either go Rambo, or start feeling you already got what it had to offer. Anyway, no regrets,…”

“I had no idea this game would be so good! Played the demo, fell in love with the atmosphere, bought it and loving every second of it.”
— a player, Steam review · 41 hrs played“Love this game, imagine X-com but with post apocalyptic Furries and more focused on stealth. This game is definitely more about patience and stealth planning then it is about sheer firepower. You're often outgunned significantly and if you make to much noise you'll attract other…”
— a player, Steam review · 74 hrs played“It's just so tedious, you are forced to play a very specific way or else you just get infinited by 16 robots or tazed by psykers from 40k, cant shred armor, which they forgot to steal from xcom like they did with every other system in the game, so tanky enemies can bowl thru…”
