Not bad. It's really entertaining. The good thing about it is that it is turn based, which allows me to plan my moves.

I remember back when I was in middle school when I feel in love with flash games. One of the first series I got myself into was Modern Tactics, which basically melted down everything from Call of Duty into a turn based strategy. Truth be told, it worked rather well, being able to swap your soldiers equipment, classes, and perks to suit your need while keeping modes such as CTF and Search and Destroy and even introducing a Stealth mode which added even more to the game than I thought possible. However, as the series progressed the developer suffered problems with glitches and by the 4th game the series was a flop. I wish from you StormAlligator to take the potential of this game and make it into replay value. Add some scenarios or custom maps (Map editor maybe?), ability to swap weapons and equip so we can upgrade more without overpowering ourselves and perhaps soldier-on-soldier battles which would work better than you would think they would. Please, expand on this game!

Really a well done game, and deserving of far more plays and praise than it's received. The Diamond medals and challenges had just the right level of intense difficulty while still seeming within the realm of possibility and the various upgrades were very well thought out. I would have liked to see some minor changes (such as a highlighted radius when placing bombs) and I think the Woods character could have used a little bit of tweaking to make him slightly more useful (the Cry of Self-Control was essentially useless), but overall a fantastic example of a flash game done right. Here's hoping for a sequel!

Only just discovered this one and loving it. I see so many similarities to old favourites that it feels like I'm back on my Amiga, wide eyed and fascinated ;)

I wish there was a reply button on these comments.... @Stormalligator's response to my post. It's not that the level isn't beatable with the upgrades you have. I know there is a walk through that probably demonstrates this. Also the fact that you have a reset skill points button automatically puts this game ahead of others that don't. But even after I finish a game, I like to continue to play it (If it's enjoyable obviously) and max out the upgrades that are available. I just feel that, even though it's beatable with much less, it's still fun to max out your characters and completely dominate. I really like the additional challenges in game to earn more experience because it has a requirement of only so many skill points anyways so it's definitely something to strive for. All in all it's a fun game and I could keep on going but this comment is long enough as it is. Thanks for your time =)

Easily the most satisfying impossible badge I have earned. It's really skill-based. You are very skilled at making games, sir - I look forward to more strategy based games from you (please? =P)

In the sixth mission, I only got hit once and passed it easy, but it said I left 4 behind. Is it because I killed all the aliens before pressing the buttons when the mission briefing said to do it the other way around?

This game is outstanding... Your first game is much better than most will ever be able to accomplish. I'd rate "milky way"/5 but the system doesn't allow me...

Awesome strategy game! The only complaint I have is that Aliens come out of sewers and attack at the same turn, could be annoying when an alien comes out and kill your trooper in one shot.

I think Taylor's "Self-Control" and Wood's "Cry of Self-Control" and "Leader of Men" skills could use a boost, they are very situational and I almost never need them (besides the point that close combat and giving the enemies free attacks are both bad anyway), and Wood's own "Cry of Focus" has a better accuracy bonus that is always on for the duration. Maybe add a 25% chance of ammo preservation, like a quarter of Farro's base skill? that makes a good alternative or boost to bigger magazines (you can handle the situation of ending up with 5 shots left in the clip by making it count as a normal shot again, it'd be necessary anyway to get the average 7th shot expected).

Did anyone else stay back and gun down as much as the aliens as possible in the first level before exiting the level?

This game is Warhammer 40k meets a flash game, space marines Vs tyranids, I just wish I could be the aliens haha. Well put together combat system that challenges one to think about how to best make a fighting retreat considering defense, offense, line of sight and much more than other games even brush on.

Very impressive. Missions are not so difficult to complete, but to earn gold you must think a lot and invent a strategy. It reminds me my impression of "Kingdom rush" - small changes in battle system totally renew and refresh gameplay. The same thing here, with firing during alien move.
Only one time before I was enjoyig so much step-by step strategy game of such a kind. I played one aimilar game, but it was a bit more realistic (and difficult): if you lose party member in one mission, he or she is really killed.. so you should fight in next missions with smaller party (or try to complete previous mission better, to keep all units alive). Maybe something like this in a seaquel? It will make a game more immersive))
5/5. and liked music very much

I've tried many of such games but this was the best. 5/5. Good ideas on alert system, ammo recharging and character development. Nice work!

Oh My Fcuking God. What a masterpiece. Reminds me my teenage times when I was playing a game called UFO enemy unknown or something like that, on PC without windows, launched on DOS, with like 100 MHz and 16 MB RAM :D. Good memories :D. I do wonder why there are not many turn based tactics games like this one. I absolutely love these. One more great game that reminds me this one is Jagged Alliance. Do I have to say... 5/5 from me :D

I was playing this game with those awesome bass solo in the background. It was 5x more intense than what it should be

I really should finish this game some time. Hardly original, but it's good, mostly fun, well done, and the soundtrack is gold. It's as good a reason as any to push for at least the hard badge.

Haven't even started and decided: ALL games should follow you (and a few other devs) and have a "start muted" button. Props to you, o wise developer.

This game reminds me of Space Hulk ^_^. Good upgrades and great gameplay. I would just add my voice towards an "Undo" button, although I could see the exploit when skimming about the map. Still sucks when you accidently click on a square that you didn't mean to. 5/5!

Just finished the game, simply amazing, x-com back again. I would like an undo button, how about having it available only three times per mission. This way, no abuses of explore/undo, for those you could be tempted. And if you miss click more than three times a mission, Man! you have bigger problems to deal with before playing this game.

Wonderful Game! I love that there are different levels of strategy necessary to finish the game - and thumbs up to Kongregate for an impossible badge which I enjoy working on.

I was about to comment about Challenge 1 being mathematically impossible, then I realized the control room isn't an elevator. Heh.

I finally got the impossible badge. Congratulations to the developers for producing a game that is enjoyable enough to be worth all the repeat attempts! (Eventually I got it through my thick skull that the winning strategy for the last mission is to always end your turn with as few people as possible on alert -- zero if you can do it.)

mission 11 felt more like the "final mission". It tested my chess logic to the maximum, and even then I got the gold medal just by the skin of my teeth. Mission 12 was pretty epic, but short.

Okay, I just got the glitch where I can't select any character on turn 3. This has happened twice today. Please fix this glitch, it is incredibly annoying when going for challenges and/or diamond medals.

If this is really your first attempt at coding a Flash Game, you got lots of talent there. I hope seeing more of them soon! And take your time. ;)

Really really really really nice. Haven't got a bad thing to say about it!
I really hope there is another one like this in the works. Add ons to this would be cool, but if only a new set of maps were made I wouldn't complain at all! 5/5!

I wish there was like a bonus campaign after the story is complete. I think you should be the aliens in the bonus campaign.(comment) I love the originality of this game! And that your troops are able to fire at the aliens DURING their move. Awesome game bro! Make another!

Great game! Love that it allows different play styles from conservative to bravado! I played the whole campaign very conservatively until the final level when I just said screw it and went charging in guns blazing not worrying about making it or not and I actually won!... but I lost two marines. No matter. This game makes stories. Its great! Please keep up the great work and make a sequel.

More more more please! Very creative and well built game. From the story to the diff action that comes from playing any mission over to everything in between. When I am on the edge of my seat wondering will I win this time as I am being overrun by aliens. Superb! Bravo!

Great game 5/5 i've played similar games in the past but this is rich in details and lovely graphics plus the weapons and upgrades are lovely. 10/5 :D

Great gameplay, the flexibility allowed in picking your strategy is just fantastic and really gives it the feel of one of those sci-fi horror movies when you get to the point where the team's running madly for the elevator, getting in each other's way and the last person is covering for everyone else. But I'm now stuck on level 11 because around the 4th or 5th turn, it glitches out after a lot of alien movement and I'm not able to select troopers to act with. The cursor highlights occupied hexagons but won't select them on clicking.
