Game looks awesome, but I want to murder that hipster scientist.

Another lacking feature - no detailed info about thingies which arrived at the base (same info for aircraft, soldiers, scientists, engineers):

This is added in the most recent experimental build.

As for your other questions:

Having a few high str characters is vital not only for bringing extra nades/ammo, but high str also allows the soldier to bring two different weapons. This is critical for the more specialized weapons (Shotgun, rocket launcher, etc). Beyond that, I usually do a preliminary filter based upon hit points followed by whatever else my situation demands. TUs are probably the least important unless you're recruiting a rookie scout/shield user.

As others have said, shotguns are meant for point blank shots, and they absolutely dominate that niche. Their problem is that they're largely useless in the open. I often end up making my shotgunners hybrids of a sort and have them bring either a shield or a rifle for use prior to the final breach.

What is the name of this game?

Xenonauts. It's been said 8 times in this thread, 4 times in strategy gaming, 6 times in "what game are you playing?" and there are 3 separate threads about it in the playground.

 

[forumvisitor#451]

Maybe now I will remember. Thanks

Let's hope that alien progress doesn't depend on their successful missions, 'cuz there won't be many:

As long as she's happy...

Somehow... she doesn't seem happy when I found out she liked me.

Yes?

Maybe we'll know how to please her.

....

 

[circ]

wat?

 

[RK47]

Saw a video of her before. It's exactly as described by this VN.
She's just going around town, running on the beach, playing volleyball.... and the viewers are expected to imagine they're right there dating her.

Angelo85 What game is this?

It's called "Heroes of Steel" and is a shitty Mobile port that popped up on Steam a couple days ago http://store.steampowered.com/app/291190/
I'd say it is not worth it for it's current price, but I was kinda desperate for a new game like this (party turnbased, 2D glory). Graphics are nice as you can see and the setting is - from what I understand so far, I'm only like 2 hours in with most of that spent in combat - similar to Avernum as in everybody lives in underground caves (yet somehow, even low life creatures like Ratkins have wooden huts, wooden barricades, wooden barrels and wooden chests when you would think wood might be kinda rare / expensive in this setting).
Combat is simplistic / casual. For example you can shoot into melee and over other units (friendly and enemy), there's a handful of abilities but so far I wasn't forced to change up my game and could beat everything using the same selection of 2 or 3 abilities.

Maps usually have camp fires where you can heal up and regenerate mana for free an unlimited number of times, so you can backtrack and come back in 100% condition. So far I have only died once because I didn't know it was game over as soon as one of your four party members dies.

Every char has 2 weapon slots (1 handed + shield, 2 handed or dual 1 hand) and 4 equipment slots, equipment is also very class specific, for example a padded leather jerkin can only be worn by your rogue character but not your warrior for some reason.

There's no choices to be made in dialogue, all I encountered so far was exposition to the world and what I assume to be the main villain... oh also apparently one of my party members has a "dark secret" and is all edgy about it. So yeah while the writing for the most part isn't too cringe worthy it's nothing to write home about either.

On the plus side, the maps - while being constrained because of caves and all - are generally quite big and have some nice exploration opportunities with optional "hard" fights via side tunnels.

I haven't come across a real town yet, or even a merchant for that matter but I have acquired plenty of gold to spent on one eventually. And the story would have me believe it's not just combat map after combat map but we'll see.

Angelo85 Thanks for that short review, I appreciate that! I will get it once it's on a cheap sale or in a bundle then.

What the fuck is with that shitty blur in the new vegas shots?
