Despite feeling a bit rough around the edges in terms of performance and UI, I had a lot of fun with this. The tactics gameplay is just the right level of complexity for me to enjoy, more similar to something like Chimera Squad than the main XCOM games. It's got enough options to lead to interesting situations and moments that make you feel smart, but its not so difficult that making one wrong move will ruin an entire mission. I was a little worried about how random card draw would affect the tactics, but with such small decks and plenty of deck-cycling options like targeted redraw, I never ran into a situation where I found myself drawing the "wrong" card and losing a mission due to that.

Character moments are fun and cute, though I did find myself not caring about some of them and feeling like more characters got highlighted in the story while others could have just been left out entirely without much change to the overall plot or team relationships. I will say that not letting us properly romance characters was disappointing. Let me date Magik you cowards.
