TEAM SPIRIT

You join me in medias res as the members of my squad hang precariously from rappel lines at the windows of a warehouse. All this is because a resistance group has been conducting some troubling experiments on the premises, and it’s now time to shut them down.

Each breach point has pros and cons. I assign my human-alien hybrid Cherub to the most dangerous entrance. His massive shield should protect him from return fire. I assign my shotgun-wielding badass, Godmother, to a breach point that grants extra mobility, which should help her get close to the enemy. I assign my medic to the safest entrance, and my psychic alien warrior, Verge, to the last one. A big glowing button invites me to ‘BREACH’. Time to take a deep breath and see what happens.

is still classic . You gather resources and unlock technology on the strategic map, and then dive into turn-based tactical battles to secure objectives and beat down the resistance menace. The world has changed, though.
