XCOM Meets Oregon Trail In Overland

I remember seeing early access gameplay to this a while ago, looked like a good game, thanks for the preview

Looks a lot like Dead State. Which, btw, is crazy fun. However, the lack of any true upgrade path and the simplistic floating maps just makes me think "lazy". It looks like it'll be fun if the devs actually fully flesh out the game some more. Running from mobs doesn't make it tactical. Makes it more along the lines of an Outlast game then. In order to maintain a "true" tactical strategy type game you need to be able to do more than just run and hit with sticks. You need some, at the least, basic survival type upgrades to maintain an edge with, what I'd hope, would be higher level mobs down the road. Scavenging for resources can be time consuming and, ultimately, become very boring if you're not looking at exerting your will upon the creatures that are making your life miserable. I'll keep an eye on it but those floating maps will probably kill it for me.

An incredibly cool concept that, sadly, seems hamstrung by it's unbearable simplification. I would jump at this sort of game if it had a bigger budget and grander vision behind it.
