This is an interesting game, but I had a lot of issues playing it. Using the scouts as you progress through the game becomes rather problematic, both because you can't control which landing site they come from (hence, can't really control the path they take) and because the fighters jets make it nearly impossible to use scouts to reveal military sites. This meant that I found myself using other ship types (notably landing sites) to uncover the map instead of using the scouts like intended. I also found the game to be a little too much waiting and repeatedly abducting the same cities rather than actually trying to strategize. I think making more of the actions faster (and even fasterer with reinforcements) would help a lot with the pacing and moment-to-moment gameplay.
Neat idea, though I wish the human resistance was a bit more capable - maybe having the humans attempt to destroy your bases could have led to deeper strategy gameplay. Cool concept for a strategy game though!
The game's concept and mechanics are nice, but could definitely have some audio and polishing!
Love this game, and I really enjoyed it!!
This is a pretty cool concept, love xcom and like the idea of a reversed xcom definitely would love to see where this goes!
If polished up a bit this could be turned into an interesting and cool game
Nice concept! Would be cool to see the idea developed further!
Cool game! Love your concept! I had trouble in my browser. Part of it is cropped :/
