Hey super cool to see you hopping on the Mars Tactics train! I've been playing the previous versions of the demo for the last few months and it's really just such a good tactics game. I think it combines the best bits of XCOM and Xenonauts and all the rest.
I checked the discord. The demo has been pulled down after a month or so as the dev wants to focus on the next build and not fix demo bugs. That said next demo release is aimed for August.
If the barebone one-mission demo and its "pre-alpha" status is any indication, this game still have a ways to go. If release is still 2023, we'll probably see it on new year's eve. Pegging this for 2024. Mechanics look good. The limping wounded animation was a nice touch. The one niggling thing was that to exit the map you have to wait 3 turns at the edge with no cover, while under fire. Dumb. Why not just being able to exit? Speaking of the last, the playthrough was pure cringe. I literally gnashed my teeth at how dumb dude's deployment was, as well as his choice of fire. "Oh, 12% to hit, it's a good shot!" Wow. I'm just surprised he survived the 1st wave.
Will still need a bit of work I agree, very much in dev phase at the moment. I didnt like the 3 turn at the edge but it looks like that will be lowered during some more testing.
I like that the enemy is withdrawing and does not seem to be suicidal.

I really enjoyed it. Found it through Hooded Horse. I cant wait to play future demos and try it out more. Looks like heaps on the horizon.
Can't wait for the game. Anyone else?
This looks really cool! Going to keep an eye out.
Certainly looks promising. I look forward to the campaign.
Interesting looking game. Hooded horses cataloge is really fantastic
They know how to pick them.
Seems like a cool game. Reminds me of the Xenonauts. Sort of minimalist graphics but the gameplay is very in depth.
Where I can get the demo? I dont see it on Steam
