:'( their is only one bad thing, it ended...
Words just can't describe how totally fantastic this game is.
From leveling up, weapon distribution & the tactics you choose yourself.
This certainly surpasses "flash game" I loved it that much.
Reviews for "XenoSquad"
OMG!!!
Great game, I like it very much.
holy crap
3D AWESOME THATS FRICKEN AWESOME 8D
Easy Tactics Game, solid gameplay
XenoSquad started strong and ended mediocre, but it was well worth the playthrough on the whole. The mechanics of defense, troop movement, and heat were well thought out, and I would have liked to see more of them! The last few missions became tedious, as the upgrade system made the characters extremely overpowered.
I think the game would have been playable with no upgrade points spent at all, and would have provided the right level of challenge. While RPG elements are fine and dandy, there would have been enough customization by choosing the weapon "class", and the level up system was unnecessary. If you really want to keep it, bump the difficulty up several notches, and nerf the bayonets a bit (either make it a melee-only weapon, or make the melee minions not one-shottable).
More missions (with a greater challenge) would have enriched the game as well. Enjoyable on the whole, yet definitely not perfect :)
Easy ten
I'm a big incubation fan - and this was great. With a story, more variety in features/enemies/equipment/levels, even a level builder or a sandbox type app with full control over basic stats for shareable modding would make this perfect.
Some parts were a bit frustrating, and a greater focus on strategy would be good, the level design wasn't awesome, the last few missions were tediously easy with a top level squad. The last level was really dull and slow in particular.
Other than that; wow, more please!
