Units should get XP after kills in battle, and level up / acquire new skills. Also, there's no drawback to losing even an entire unit in battle, as they can be replaced by another set of clones afterwards. There's zero sense of progression.

Deployment is also a hassle, and the tutorial never mentioned it was possible to re-position your units before commencing battle. A proper minimap would also be nice. The current one is useless.

The only positive to combat is that - unlike in Sanctus Reach - your hands are not tied by the retarded "move, then shoot" formula. But the levels I've seen so far (4 or 5 missions in) are not clever or challenging at all -- you can't really flank or outmaneouvre the 'nids, it's all about setting up chokepoints and putting your units on overwatch. Which gets boring real quick.

All in all, feels like a mobile game ported to PC.

Someone missed the point of my post. Reading comprehension is a privilege indeed.

I was talking about units gaining XP/skills, not "heroes".

Yes, but you might want to check out the Skill trees of the heroes a bit closer.

That being said, normal units not gaining xp isn't a bad thing. They're cannons and fodder Smile


There is nothing more frustrating in a X4 game, then losing your elite level unit, because of some bad rng, lol.

I actually need to revise my initial assessment of this game; I've played some more, and it's pretty decent. Nothing mind-blowing, but decent enough to enjoy.

The aforementioned issues are still valid, and the game is in dire need of some QoL improvements, but still can be fun.

So, what's the new campaign mechanic like? I suppose it's some half-arsed attempt, like a series of skirmish matches...?
