Remember when FFG insisted we wouldn't have to worry about our XCOM board game becoming obsoleted? (media.kbin.social)

I wasn't much in to it. It plays very much like a co-op procedural. Each player just kinda does their own thing and occassionally shouts at the other players while the app applies constant pressure.

The meat of the game is just in doing your part within the imposed stressors of the game. For that sort of experience, I think Space Alert is vastly better (and not obsolete!)
