What players say
The totally deterministic turn-based combat and enemy logic feels sort of like playing chess with mechs. That's a good thing. It's all about understanding the mechanics and options available to you and planning ahead. Different maps and areas have a wide variety of different challenges and unique features, but it won't take long before you've seen pretty much every type of battle, and only the specific arrangements...

Very good tactics game. Seeing an impossible turn and solving the puzzle of "how do I get out of this?" is super satisfying
I know everyone likes this game, but I just can't get into it. People say there's no luck - I don't know what they're talking about. There's tons of luck in how the enemies get positioned which makes the whole thing feel like a chaotic dice chuck. Nothing I'm doing ever feels satisfying. The game is stingy with all progression. I had the same issues with FTL, so I guess if you love FTL you may love this.
