I can go one of two ways with turn-based tactics games. Give me something like XCOM, where you re thrown situations full of random variables and asked to make the best of them with inadequate resources, and I ll go at it like John Henry, digging away in a doomed attempt to beat the machine. Give me something like Into The Breach, however, where there s less element of chance and victory is achieved via careful planning and well, I ll love it. Until I realise I m being tricked into enjoying chess, that is, at which point I ll drop it like someone who s found an eyelid in their burger.
