Fast turns, heavy consequences
This is tactics at speed. Each soldier gets multiple actions per turn, so a round is a chain of decisions: slide into cover for extra movement, set an overwatch lane, then line up a shot that ends in an execution when you finish an enemy outright. The turn system is clear with its numbers, and when a round goes wrong it is because you missed something, not because the game hid it. The Locust swarm in force, so you are always advancing, flanking and surviving intense encounters rather than trading single shots from safety. It plays like a tactics game wearing Gears' boots, and the boots are loud.
Build a squad worth losing
You play Gabe Diaz, and your job is people: recruit survivors, develop their skills and lead them against Ukkon's army. Five classes branch into different specialisations, with skill trees, passive and active abilities, and loot from missions to outfit weapons and armor. Jack, your support bot, brings over 20 skills of his own. There is cosmetic customization too, down to colors on recruits and weapons. Some missions restrict who you can bring, which pushes you to rotate your roster instead of running the same four heroes every time. Losing a soldier you spent twenty missions building stings, and that is the point.
