Sampstra Games was accepted for the alpha testing, so here's a video:


Centurion Developments is a Slovakian designer and publisher (with prior games apparently hidden by my content and/or language preferences  :shocked: ). From their Steam page for the game:

QuoteWhen XCOM crashes headlong into World War II! Forgotten but Unbroken is a tactical turn-based strategy game that while inspired by XCOM, has its own unique take on the genre and offers a deep and complex gaming experience.
Follow in the steps of our main hero as he fights his way to glory. Build, upgrade and manage your base. Recruit new comrades and set up and position units so they can take you to glory against the Axis powers. Meet and fight alongside, the real heroes of World War II (or face the most feared elite fighters of 3rd Reich), and with some of them who have been completely forgotten by the cruel corridors of history.
Be part of a small secret operation that will have a big impact on the war machine by leading your own resistance group against the enemy, and help to liberate Europe! Do well and impress your allies with your strategies and actions, and they will help you by sending money, supplies and resources – They may even send you some of their elite units to fight alongside your heroes for a limited period of time. Make the tough decisions and enjoy the victories and spoils of war with unique gameplay mechanics.
Step up heroes! It's time to take your freedom back!

- Lead your own resistance group.
- Impress your allies (from west or east).
- Meet some real life heroes from the WW2 battlefield.
- Train your own specialists (6 classes).
- Be part of Commander Martin's wonderful story of resistance that is inspired by a real story.
- Build and manage your own base of operations for your group of resistance.
- Unique game mechanics in the genre.

This looks pretty good.  Gonna have to wishlist later.

I wonder if a developer will ever make an X-com type game where the player assumes the role of an evil empire trying to stamp out the resistance?

For example have an X-Com like game where the player is the aliens from outer space trying to wipe out humanity?

Although it's a dark theme you gotta admit that there is some joy being the bully for once instead of being the bullied?

That'd be perfect fodder for a Star Wars X-Com Like.  Almost like the TIE Fighter of turn based strategy. 

But man, those Stormtroopers and their 1% chance to hit.

Of course, skirmishes in modern Xcom can do something like this already, just not a campaign. There are even some really good Star Wars mods for the skirmishes!

Empire At War (with pausable real-time), and plenty of mod-ups, may still be the best bet on this for a long time to come. But who knows.
