THE ultimate in strategy/rpg hybrids. Dareisay this game exceeds over Xcom? Yes it does. The personalities of the mercs make this game fun. The battle from sector to sector with added npc ala a crpg make it openended. Tactical combat that beats even straight turn based tactical games (ala 101st airborne) makes it even better!
The addition of a laptop GUI is also worthy of note...funny as well!
