Comment on Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?
Arkive@lemmy.zip 1 month agoSilent Storm was a fun turn-based tactics game! Not as polished as something like the Firaxis xcoms, but more complete than a lot of other non-fantasy tactics games I’ve tried.

Sounds like I should try XCom. I bought every Humble Bundle for a couple years from it’s inception and I have 800+ games in my Steam library. I just played Silent Storm randomly and blind and was surprised.

Sounds like you guys might like The X-Com Files. A mod for the original.

Thanks for the suggestion. Stated playing XCF and I’m hooked. I previously bounced off an attempt at playing open xcom, but XCF has been a good experience so far.

Glad you like it. It has no right to be this good and campy but somehow I also can’t put it down.
If you want something even more crazy another guy made X-Pirates on the XCOM engine. It’s a catgirl post-apocalyptic pirate mod (NSFW, yeah, not kidding).
