A mix of xcom and an RTS. I had lots of fun with it, although I did find most levels 'too easy.' Some of the missions in 'legion tales' expanded on the types/gameplay of missions in a great way, and it would have been excellent if incorporated in the main game.

A very fun game. An interesting setting. More intimate battles than I was expecting in an RTS, but with heavy stealth mechanics and heavy emphasis on cover. Lots of choices to make. Very customizable difficulty settings.

Enemy AI in battles is limited so it's too easy and almost feels expected to cheese stealth, especially with a leveled up Scout (or 5). Even though this will slow down your gameplay quite a bit, it's worth it to save resources and lives. There's a heavy fog of war and reinforcements that sometimes come from outside the playable area so always be ready to hit that spacebar to pause time.

Some mechanics are explicitly stated, some challenges are spelled out in advance through dialog and events so you know to prepare for them, but much of the nitty gritty rules aren't obvious or clear... which in an RTS is not appreciated. The fandom wiki is sparse but steam guides will help quite a bit.

Save often.

The voice acting, story, and live-action acting are fantastic. There are lots of references to history in this story "based on real history" but not 100% accurate by design.

Highly recommended! You should get it and enjoy your train ride.

great game
