Another one from Hooded Horse. Looks pretty cool...

QuoteLead a strike force against an alien threat in this turn-based tactical RPG from the developers of Battle Brothers. Answer distress calls across different worlds, train and equip infantry, field tanks and mechs, plan out missions and execute them in detailed turn-based battles.

Right up my alley!

You had me at "Developers of Battle Brothers." I'm 100% in on this!

Wow. The features they talk about in-game look really bad-ass.

So long as they can strike the right balance between base-building (will the TCRN Impetus screens function any differently than an X-Com 1 base screens did 40 years ago?), campaign choices, faction-building, and an intriguing story line, this game could be epic.

Balancing all of those features can be a challenge, but if they can pull it off, even if it takes a full year of polishing after release, I'm all in on this one.

This game is looking so epic. I love everything about it. The art, the story, the strategic systems, the tactical battles. It could be shaping up to be one of my dream games.

It can't come soon enough!

bit concerned squads seem like a blob - hope there is something that allows you to peel a couple of guys off or something similar like a 2 element unit.

I've been playing the demo quite a bit and am really enjoying it. I can't wait for the full game. That trailer looks pretty bad a$$!

Watch this space for impressions. I've put about a dozen hours so far into the EA build. Embargo ends on 1/29/26 at 10:00am EST.

I have a lot to say.

Unfortunately, I'm stuck at work today. I promise I'll post detailed thoughts and screenshots tonight!
