I’m still playing Depth of Extinction

Man, Combined Arms is broken beyond belief. Every time an ally shoots an enemy, you shoot them too. Equip a drum mag so you don’t run out of ammo, and you effectively double your damage output. Not much in this game poses a threat anymore.

And then they make enemies that use Combined Arms, and your HP just evaporates.

More from the Ukraine bundle.

It’s like XCOM, as made by people who don’t have the budget, manpower, or quite frankly, talent to make XCOM. It does that thing a lot of XCOM-alikes do where it rewards playing as slowly as carefully as possible, but ditches all the incentives to move quickly and take risks, so the pacing gets shot to hell as you inch your way forward. Still moderately entertaining, and a decent attempt from a smaller studio.
