Shock Tactics is a single player turn-based sci-fi strategy game with tactical combat, exploration, squad management and base building. It is inspired by the space western style of Firefly and tactic games like Jagged Alliance and X-COM.
Firefly, Jagged Alliance and X-Com?! If only it could be that good! But I'm definitely interested.

I'd like a full review later, please. I tried one like this a bit back and was really glad Steam had just started to take returns. I don't know but this sort of game is the stuff I would love to love but rarely comes out in a form I want to play.
A brief search says the game was Fallen: A2P Protocol.
Just released today so we need some poor soul who has $20 to burn (and the time) to let us know how it is.
Bonus points if that poor soul could compare it to the recent X-Com games (since they appear to be very similar).

Steam reviews are rolling in, and Mostly Negative.

The core game play is actually solid, an uninspired copy paste of XCOM 2's systems for the most part, but competent. The problem is everything else. I know graphics are not everything but this game does not look even ready for early access, it looks like someone's mod project at best. Ugly bland environments and characters, generic monsters and enemies, buggy as hell with an horrible clunky interface. No, god please no. I'm going to go take a shower now to wash away the stink of bitter disappointment.

And I would have been had the reaction posted above not been typical. After viewing some play footage, I may consider it at a sale price of a couple of bucks, but that's about it.
I spent 90% of the money I made on women, booze, and drugs. The other 10% I just pissed away.

It is now less than 3 dollars Canadian, so like 2 bits American.
