Early Access Review
Where do i begin
Edit had to come back this game is getting updated not with bug fixes but new content and QOL fixes as such a pace i cant keep up with playing it. No new saved games needed and i tell you no lie and you can go on steam update history this game is getting an update every 2 to 3 days . So much that every time i go on to play it something else is added and have to read up on it

if you are looking for this type of game and wonder about development this is it
I had this wishlisted for a long time debating should u buy.
As a massive fan of turn based games, wartales, xcom,jagged alliance series, wasteland series, phantom doctrine, divinity sins a few to mention I knew the type of game this was but still hesitant.

I already knew I wanted and was going to get it but it’s the constant updates that got me 2 updates a week and these updates are content and fixes and was filling up my news feat and I had to get it as I knew the devs were on it. These updates at this rate have been going on for months and looked really cool.

The game has a xcom feel where you have your base which involves upgrading, training your soldiers with skills, talents which is quite deep. The weapons available are a large selection with mods and attachments plus lots of other weapons and accessories.
The turn base combat is like any other you have skills assigns to various team members and each has a strength to get through the level. With a mixture of pre gen and designed levels it’s a fun game to play with combat. Achieving your missions and obtaining further data, info lore and gear to sell and use out of combat.
Outside combat beside the base building and team improvements you have contacts that you can develop and work with through selling and buying stuff to increase relationship which in turn grants you better gear with that contact and also help during missions in terms of favours . The main story is at a certain point right now with no further progression as its currently being developed but will be soon. There is plenty to do outside that and it’s a game you really have to think about what you want to, who you pick for your team with a countdown in days to further missions, recon missions and other conversations you will get so team management is also key.

The game is great and a nice side step from many other in the genre
I love turn based games and I like that I have genres to suit my mood. Cyber has no aliens and pure combat based with tech but when I want aliens and stuff I have x com , if I want total combat jungles etc I have jagged alliance and so forth.

This is def worth a buy and if its not your thing the refund policy is there but you can get up and running in 10 mins to give you time to see if the game is for you rather than some games which you put in an hour before you even understand the game.
