Reviews enjoy adjusting troops and defenses to the enemy and pushing back. This tactical game suits players who want to keep responding to the battle.
What makes it fun
Mutations change your approach
As you push through the hives, alien mutations can make a working loadout ineffective. Reequipping your marines makes you rethink how to attack the next hive.
Push on or fall back?
You press toward the next hive while holding the ground you took. When the aliens push back, choosing whether to keep attacking or return to defend is the hook.
Undo upgrades and rethink the squad
You can undo a marine upgrade and change their gear. Choosing how to divide a tight budget between your marines and support buildings remains part of the fight.
