Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate the retro 1960s FBI setting and the blend of third-person action with strategic squad command, finding it a solid experience despite its age, though some note technical issues and lengthy ramp-up times. The main complaint centers on the gameplay itself—particularly bullet-sponge enemies and mechanics that don't quite match the appeal of classic XCOM games, making it feel more like a departure from the series' core strategy formula than a true successor.

From the hub, you'll be assigned missions across various locations in the United States to stop the aliens' plans. There are two mission types. Main missions advance the story, while extra assignments add flavor to the narrative and often reward you with upgrades for Carter or your squad. Alongside Carter, you'll always have two agents that you can command through a radial menu. One important thing to note is that these agents can die permanently. While the game is primarily a third-person cover shooter, you'll also unlock a variety of special abilities. Carter has his own unique ability tree, while recruited agents can be assigned one of four different classes. Choosing an agent's class when they join your team gives you a surprising amount of strategic freedom, allowing you to build a squad around your preferred playstyle. Personally, I leaned heavily into abilities that dist…
