Always wanted to play this failed/forgotten game which basically fell between the cracks of gaming history following Firaxis' much more succesful XCOM reboot, and got around to it last week.
Left a review on Steam if you're interested, but the short version is basically: it's not bad, it's just not very good either. Shouldn't have called it XCOM, but otherwise the game is interesting enough in its setting and atmosphere. I picked it up for 2 euros, so my expectations may have been low though.
I can imagine feeling really scammed if I'd paid 15 euros or more for it...which is a feeling I definitely didn't have about the Firaxis XCOM which was worth every cent. So yeah, take it with a grain of salt.
This was like...omg we're fucked, we can't do anything to oppose this relentless alien invasion (2 days later) wait, we found a way to travel to their world and blow everything up and stop them from ever coming at us again, game over. Ok then.
