Not impressed so far (though it is still an early development game).
Recent changes made the game flat, moving mechanic still sucks (getting stuck to walls, jetpack issues, etc).
I can no longer see any novelty in this game neither- most of the features were seen somewhere else, implemented in a better way
Having played many similar games in the past i cannot rate this one higher than 5 the most... hopefully IP will get better with more dev time and i will be able to write something good about it.
update:
added +1 point for Dev responsiveness :)
Controlls might cause some trouble at first (not everything is obvious on the first glance) but after some time they feel natural.
Kind of hard to swallow for new players in it's current state due to above reason but it is still in development.
If you manage to swallow this pill however, lots of good taste is guaranteed.
The game offers a huge sandbox universe and doesn't limit what/where you can do or go (well, some grinding for research might be needed if you don't want to use cheats ;))
The Developer seems to be a nice and responsive person, which gives me confidence that this game will become even more awesome.
I`ll update this review/rating along with game updates.
I don't give out 10's ratings often.
This game completely deserves this though in my opinion.
The tactical depth is very nice, overal feeling is great.
Given the fact that more features are still to be implemented (review was made on 07.09.2013) i cannot even imagine the incoming awesomeness :D
ingame:
- cool pixel art (a thing i am usually against in most modern games)
- steampunk setting
- turn based, tactical gameplay
- allows multiple ways of dealing with enemies, depending on what squad you have, which way you choose/make, etc
- upgradable squad members
- lots of fun!
- Not bad graphic
- Shooting, Stealth, Vehicles, Grappling hook :), [...]
- Randomness
- Interesting crafting system
- Interesting approach to questing
- Was featured on IGS

update:
With the recent multiplayer and sp modes addition i can no longer rate this game 9/10. 10 it is!
Played only for awhile (early beta), hence the 8/10 rating. I`ll most likely make it at least 9/10 when the game will be more developped.
I can already feel the love for the graphic/atmosphere/music/gameplay.
The game reminds me of an old amiga game - Shadow Of The Beast - which is a big + in my book.
