A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I’ve been playing Silent Storm a 2004 strategy RPG that is a total hidden gem. A little primitive but it feels a bit like the battle system from BG 3 with guns.

Silent Storm was a fun turn-based tactics game! Not as polished as something like the Firaxis xcoms, but more complete than a lot of other non-fantasy tactics games I've tried.

Sounds like I should try XCom. I bought every Humble Bundle for a couple years from it’s inception and I have 800+ games in my Steam library. I just played Silent Storm randomly and blind and was surprised.

Sounds like you guys might like The X-Com Files. A mod for the original.

Thanks for the suggestion. Stated playing XCF and I'm hooked. I previously bounced off an attempt at playing open xcom, but XCF has been a good experience so far.

Glad you like it. It has no right to be this good and campy but somehow I also can't put it down.

If you want something even more crazy another guy made X-Pirates on the XCOM engine. It's a catgirl post-apocalyptic pirate mod (NSFW, yeah, not kidding).
