There is also a multiplayer component, including both online and local options, which adds replay value for those interested in testing their strategic thinking against other players.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
5 of 31 sampled reviews raised it
Most enemies have ranged attacks, and the AI is pretty good even on medium difficulty, especially using overwatch and shooting your marines through teleporters (bullets continue travelling after being teleported), so its important to end turns behind solid objects like walls, rocks and plants.
