So I've been playing Menace
Very fun platoon-level turn-based tactics game. Very satisfying gameplay, handles vehicles much better than X-COM and its ilk, and presents interesting tactical challenges. (It's amazing how much the game changes when you switch from fighting giant alien bugs to an actual rival military with working guns.) It's hilarious how doomed the heavily damaged Impetus's mission is, there are so many factions jockeying for control and all you have is a couple dozen marines. With light armor backup.
I do wish the early missions sold the sci-fi aesthetic more, though. There's something vaguely disappointing about fighting a cool alien menace with what are baaaaasically contemporary firearms and an I-can't-believe-it's-not-a-Bradley. At least you can eventually afford things like laser-armed mechs.
