6: 19 Here's the real answer: Walker punches bug that's not webbing it. End turn.
(The water will come in and kill the webbing bug before it attacks anyway, although
the artillery can go 3 spaces back and shoot the bug to push the walker away)
Or you can get fancy: Move the artillery 3 spaces back from the walker. The walker
punches the bug that's webbing it. Artillery fires on the webbing bug, killing it and
pushing the walker out of the line of fire of the flying bug. The tank moves in and
shoots the flying bug. End turn. The flying bug dies to fire damage.

I was suspicious from the second I first saw the tiny mobile-game tier maps, but seeing more of it only makes me think even more that the game really does seem too simple for its own good, it won't have much replayability if there's this little variance and depth, and it has no long game to speak of other than slight character upgrades and a couple abilities for the three classes
I hope they've got more up their sleeve and aren't just banking on people making mods for it
Also, calling them mechs when only one of them is a mech is a filthy, filthy, lie

I'm not really feeling this ever since I heard about it (a year ago. It looks like a pretty good game, but for some reason not something as appealing to me. I should still probably try it though, and that might get me to like it.
Personally I would have loved an FTL 2, but not everyone would necessarily want that.

Are we so far gone in gaming we have to have red squares showing where the enemy is attacking next turn. Just seems so dumbed down. Outside of that reminds me a bit of advanced wars and a bit of fire emblem. I also hope we're not limited to only three hero units in the game and on the map.

Here is a radical idea. how about you script the video, record a bunch of footage while you play it for review and then use said footage to highlight good examples of the gameplay, instead of fumbling through this, because you don't want to waste more than 20 minutes on doing your job.

I am glad to see this and it looks very nice! But at the same time I was really hoping for FTL 2! Maybe they will make FTL 2 after they are done with this? I would love to see an FTL Space Sim mix game! (Not that FTL 2 would be anything like that)

-It's like Iowa, nobody lives there. -
Hey! Iowa has plenty of people. We have the same population as Uruguay - and that's a sovereign country. If you're going to push Kaiju into nowhere, pick Nebraska instead. Nobody will miss that.

Wow I want to play this game so I rushed to steam store (during the video so I didn't hear it is not finished) and see that -available: when it is finished- and I was pleased because we'll get a full game not another early access! :)

Looks like Overland. I'm sad. I wanted FTL style game, but with RPG progression style, with proper trading and openworld universe. That would be awesome. Like 2D Elite. With FTL style ship management - that would be awesome.

18: 00 NOOOOOOoooooooo! Heinlein wrote the original book, which
does NOT have the insane-military-dystopia tone that the movie does.
The movie intentionally had the opposite attitude of the novel.

I just want FTL on the Switch. I have spent close to 2000 hours on that game and love it. I will gladly buy both games, but I really want FTL with me on my favourite system!

Disappointingly simplistic. They should've just made another FTL, honestly, because this looks like a mid 2000's newgrounds game, or as it's called today, mobile shovelware.

Not impressed. Looks like a phone game developed in someones bedroom. A grid, you couldnt even create a hex map? Great game if this was 1990

As an Iowan, I should correct you on the 'nobody lives there' comments. It's more accurate to say that 'nobody WANTS to live there'.

Starship troopers isn-t fascist. Writer literally said so.
Only reason people say it-s factors is because it-s pro military.

Wow, who would have thought that POLYGON would get political? Absolutely gobsmacked.

Only thing that's missing is the over-the-top animation when you execute an attack a la Super Robot Wars / Advanced Wars: D

Sigh, why turnbased of all things? I hope it's good enough to overcome that disadvantage and that it plays fast: -/

'sounds like every other other turn based game ever' except the graphics are much worse than every other one.

I tihnk what we all wanted was a sandbox version of ftl with a bigger scope, this does look interesting though
