Fragamemnon said: I have 1300 hours spent in XCOM:EU/EW. How does this game compare? Note that I am completely heartless and do not give one iota about story, characters, feels, cutscenes, and all that nonsense. All I care about are core game mechanics and systems, and how well the game's tactical combat challenges the player. Click to expand...

When Enemy Unknown was starting to get into the media, there were a lot of parallels drawn between in and Valkyria Chronicles. Firaxis admitted as much and even spoke about the game in some interviews. For example:"There are a few elements in our game that are similar to elements in other games, like Valkyria Chronicles for example. I think it's because we arrived at similar solutions, because we had the same set of problems in some cases. And there are some gameplay mechanics that just work really well."So yeah, you should feel at home. You heartless monster
