Oh! Thanks for your detailed response!
Ok, so maybe I won’t throw my save into the trash and just let the aliens do their festering thing.
By no means I’m winning! But the minigame, at least for now, it’s very shallow and tedious, or it’s just not for me. You just have to shoot when in range and defense when attacked, it could be automated (indeed it is, but I don’t trust auto-resolve in games). My main problem is that I’m behind the aerial tech, and I have very few resources.
Yes, Kaos Engine for now I like it a lot. Those acid shotguns are very helpful (until they jam in the worst possible time)
Corrupted Horizons I like it too. My main worry is about the Legacy of the Ancients. Is as grindy as I’ve read?
By the way, I’m playing Iron man (always do in this kind of game) so save scum is not an option for me. So maybe is a good idea to experiment the game without some of the most unforgiving DLC’s?
This indeed is a favourite of mine alongside XCOM2: WOTC. I’d like a Phoenix Point with the production values of XCOM. One thing I miss from XCOM2 is the variety and quality of maps and mission objectives, in Phoenix Point very fast all the maps look the same.
On the other hand the last time I’ve tried XCOM2 I was missing with all my heart the ballistics and localized damage of Phoenix Point.
