There’s no contingency plan for this stuff. The loss of good people and items set me back SO MUCH.


That mission cost me the game but the game acts as if I can recover from that, I can’t. Down to 3 and two stun lancer guys show up, in one turn they knock two of my best guys unconscious, this left me with a single new guy to battle at least 5 more enemies… He had no chance in hell. I had 5 guys, two got killed due to bad luck basically. A party wipe is so devastating that I’ve found myself restarting the game. If you experience a party wipe though, you lose the squad, the special grenades, weapons, everything, even medkits. It’s not easy, which is good, it’s got variation due to massive randomization, which is good, it’s got destructible environments, it let’s you feel strong even against terrible odds, it’s got a Silent Storm level of random shit happening that you have to prepare for, which is good. Having said that, while I have tons of complaints about this game, most importantly the performance and the insistence on making you rush your missions, this game is great.
