It can feel overwhelming at first because there are a lot of things on the screen, but you do get used to it, and everything in the game has a description if you're unsure what something is.
Each mech has several slots where gear can fit in, ranging from weapons, to shields, to propulsion systems. The customization is very rich and detailed. And in between missions you can customize your mechs with the loot found. You can even deploy sentry turrets to help you in firefights if you've got any available. You could kill an enemy in 1-2 shots, but so can they! So you have to utilise tactics to outsmart them - use range or perhaps area of effect weapons, or even just pull back and surprise them around the corner. Both, your units and enemy units, might feel like glass cannons. It is very easy to make a wrong move and to have several enemies on you at once.
You can swap between your mechs at will, but doing so counts as a turn, so you have to be very careful in your advance. The missions themselves take a form of a randomly-generated dungeon with tile-based movement. The best thing is, you can see on a side of a screen the details of what units currently comprise the enemy army, so you can see how it is affected after every mission you do. You can go for missions where you find shiny new gear for your mechs to make them stronger, or you can go for missions which weaken the enemy and slow their expansion. Each mission you do in the city counts as a day. Do whatever you can to prepare yourself for this attack. The campaign itself has a simple concept - a robot army is going to attack your HQ in 50 days. So it's up to you to pick your preferred team. Each pilot has a bonus perk of some sort, and each mech has its own strengths and weaknesses, some being more offensively based, others more to do with support stuff, like hacking and stealth. Upon starting a new game, you get to select your preferred pilot and 4 mechs/exosuits.
There is a bit of a learning curve here, but the game has a very nice tactical depth to it and can be loads of fun. But, if you stay on and keep playing, you eventually start to get a hang of it. The difficulty seemed all over the place, there were a lot of numbers and stats everywhere, and things were confusing. The difficulty seemed all over the place, there were a lot of On first impressions when I started playing this game, I wasn't too impressed. On first impressions when I started playing this game, I wasn't too impressed. This isn't needed so much at the normal or lower difficulty level though. You get a lot of equipment in the game and between battles it can be a bit tedious to really tune your exo. I ding it only for the equipment management set of screens. It is well polished, runs smoothly, has good graphics and good music. The game scales well across the different difficulty levels, and throughout the days of the game itself. It doesn't have a lot of micromanaging and the battles don't get tedious, but at the same time you can find yourself in situations where you stop and think a bit between actions, especially at the higher difficulty levels. The gameplay is fast, except when you don't want it to be. Each "Exo" has it's own flavor (sniper, ninja, siege, science, etc.), and you have good flexibility to tune them to your liking as the game progresses and you gather equipment. You build these up as you collect loot and mission rewards. You have a set of robots you can choose four of six available called "Exos". The battle that occurs each day is essentially the TBS/Roguelike part. Different missions give different rewards. You can't tackle all of them, and you can't see much past where you have already fought you way through, so you have to choose carefully. There are two parts to the game the strategic map, where you choose what objectives to tackle. I'm a fan of TBS and roguelikes in general, and this has a good mixture of the two for me. There are two I've really enjoyed this game.
