Has anyone else picked this gem up?
I haven't played the older ones, but ended up picking this up based on a friend's recommendation. So far it's been an interesting experience, seems to be relatively easy to pick up the basics, and but difficult to master. Definitely taught me not to get attached to my squad members, as any one of them can meet their permanent demise around every turn, and really forces you to go against the grain of building up an elite squad of 5-6 members.
Unfortunately, the more I keep playing my current game, the more it looks like I will have to restart because the consequences of my earlier choices are really starting to rear their ugly heads (lack of funds and rampant panic) ... But at least I can skip the tutorial this time around.
