As in earlier builds, #PhoenixPoint seems to be evolving XCOM combat quite nicely, though the strategic & story layers still need work https://twitter.com/Christopher_Odd/status/1062075373863792641 … tactics are mostly done though; team wipes are going to be tragic in this game :p
To be fair, there's apparently already a ton of lore released on #PhoenixPoint (heavily Lovecraft-influenced, ofc), expertly narrated by Retcon Raider https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lt7c2yaNrsQ&list=PLCagUJdg-iWr5NI6iRXxnylcrKlrxjqqQ … the interesting part will be in how the game adapts & paces all of that into the campaign
