Strain Tactics

In a nutshell: Doorkickers + XCOM = a surprisingly creative game with fascinating unit design, a morale system that has your units feeling like people instead of obedient robots, and genuinely fun gameplay.

The helibase is one of the most important tools in the game: it brings you to and from your base, it has a bristling array of weapons, and it has a decon shower inside that will cure infection, thus saving your soldiers if you didn't bring medicine for them.

Choose from over 80 playable characters with unique personalities and traits, and equip their 1-3 inventory slots with countless weapon and item combinations.

The high-tech weaponry, state-of-art security and references to hazmat, biohazard and labatory ashtetics make Strain Tactics' Cyberpunk Post-Apocalyptic art style feel like at home - having units wearing all types of head and boy armor while covering themselves with gas masks and hazmat suits.

Sound effects are mostly pretty good, too, with realistic gun and helicopter sounds, though the troop voices become grating fairly quickly.
