Broken Lines
Broken Lines is a story-driven tactical RPG set in an alternate-history version of World War II. It’s a game about a group of eight soldiers who crash-land behind enemy lines. It’s up to you to lead them home while fending off the enemy and helping them deal with the horrors of war. Your squad has crash-landed behind enemy lines, in the heart of an alternate history Eastern Europe. With no intel or leadership to support them, these soldiers must fight their way back home before the horrors of war break them. Teamwork and strategy are paramount… Each soldier has their own personality and ideas on what needs to happen next. Some want to investigate what caused the crash that left them in hostile territory, while others want to lay low and wait for rescue. There are even whispers of desertion. You are the “unseen hand” that guides this ragtag group of soldiers to safety and possible rescue. Whether it’s as simple a choice as to which way to go next, or something as serious as how to engage their mysterious foes, every decision you make is serious and significant.

I like the game overall, and the fact that you can customize the settings to your liking, another thing i like compared to most games if not having to worry about ammo count and stuff.

Granted, the game is already 4 years old.
BUT tbh I loved it a lot!
If you wanna try out tactical combat but get overwhelmed quickly or like me just prefer turn-based games, this one is a good option.
Yes, it is tedious etc., that's just how tactical games are.
I just wish more info/lore about the game was available, for example info on how to get the different endings, etc.

Zombies, booze, strained interpersonal relations, and tough decisions.
I've really enjoyed the wartime setting, the small-unit tactics, and the voluminous zombie killing to be had in the game. The story was interesting, the combat was fun, and the maps were varied and quite nice in terms of graphics.
On sale, it's a great price-point, and it's got replay value if you're interested in developing the various character interactions and story-lines.

If you like X-com like me (I do so a lot), and it's on sale, go for it... The strategy mechanics are good and the story is quite cool.
