A generic horde shooter with X-COM slapped on it. If you're a wimp like me and play on easy, the game punishes you by not letting you face the final boss and you have to play the whole game again, no thank you ma'am

Stupid, fun, and completely broken. It stutters all the time and XCOM in name only, but if you want some mindless TPS action, this is your game

It could have been an OK game without the XCom label, even then i would rate it a 5 maybe. But as a watered down XCom game, it is a 2/10 for me. Boring, repetetive, not worth your time. If you want something similar, play MDK.

For an XCOM game, it shares little to no resemblance with any prior entry in the series, other than the fact that there is aliens. For a third person shooter it is alright, other than the fact that you can't really move your camera left right up down in 3D it's like somewhat 2.5D. As a mindless horde shooter type game it's heavily outclassed imo by Serious Sam: TFE which came out in the same year to a much higher...
