I randomly found this game while browsing rockpapershotgun. Looks like a new "Incubation", for those who remember that old gem... basically indie xcom with stronger RPG elements but no basebuilding.

It received very good reviews everywhere I checked - looks really good. I found no Yarr version, so i think I'll buy it later today.

Templar Battleforce is an addictive mix of strategic combat and army building with the precision gameplay of RPGs. Step into a Leviathan mech and lead the Templar Knights in battle against fierce Xenos. Create your own unique Battleforce by recruiting an array of Templar specialists -- and invent distinct strategies for your fireteams. Deploy your forces in tactical scenarios that challenge both novice and veteran alike. Put your best strategies to the test and see if you can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat in this futuristic turn-based wargame.

Armored in the Leviathan battle mechs, your mighty Templars will face hordes of terrifying Xenos, rogue human factions, and the ancient Narvidian threat. Slash and blast your way across a deep and deadly sci-fi universe -- waging war with cunning Scouts, righteous Soldiers, flamethrowing Hydras, specialized Engineers, deadly Sentry Turrets, and the indomitable Berserks.

Lead your squad as they blast, hack, and burn their way through the quadrant!

Yeap. Incubation was a great game, great ambiance and good armour/weapon upgrades, plus you get to really care for your soldiers Razz i remember finishing the campaign quite a few times. The game mechanics were done really well. would be amazing with modern graphics. Smile

Ok so I bought Templar Battleforce, playing on nightmare difficulty (like the roguelike feel) and I really like it so far (@mission 4 now). The mechanics are well thought out. and the game has this "one more turn" feel. Highly recommend if you don't mind the indie graphics.
