It's real time not turn-based I think. Which is a bonus point for me personally. I very much prefer real time or real time with pause in strategy/tactics games.
It's real time but more of a cross between XCOM 2, Darkest Dungeon and Dead Space. You get the usual base upgrade, soldier upgrade and deployment of XCOM/2. Then you move around until they spotted you, ambush you or you shoot them and they start swamming on you. You could setup some sort of a killing ground but you still have to pack up and hide as they get very relentless. Then you have to manage your stress level or send your best people to the loonie bin for a while.
on DEI, I don't know. As a gamer, I don't think people care as long as they get good games. For some stupid reasons DEI just push ugly people into characters in game. I don't get it. I want hot boobies to bone but I get ugly fatsos or something in the game.
At some point, none of my games got hot females! The only one that was pretty much with nice boobies was some boob shooter called League of Maidens
Wait, there was this game called Othercide which is pretty good imo. Nice story and really cool combat with really nice art style.
