Date played: February 28th
Platform: PC
I played two big missions yesterday. In the first, I had to investigate a crashed UFO. I loved this mission since it had many dangerous enemies, including a Sectopod, the giant bipedal robots. I'm starting to have a more regular team going now. Victoria Everglot is my main support, tasked with healing, though I still use Emma Allen every now and then. Samus Aran is my main grenadier with a focus on explosives. Princess Zelda is my main sniper. Link Inpark is my close quarters ranger of choice. Orion Belt is my hacking specialist and robot killer. Finally, Colonel Mustard is my psi operative.
The more I train him, the more I love his skills. For example, I can now detonate explosives held by enemies which damages them, but also blows up their cover, creating attack opportunities for the rest of the team. He also has an awesome move that can grant a nearby ally an extra move. This is insanely powerful as it allows for very strategic use of my units. He also has a move that can inflict negative effects on enemies, and he's learning a direct damage psionic attack.
After we cleared the UFO, painfully, I took on another mission. This time, I had to hack a computer on a train. It wasn't too bad, except that I had to fight an Andromedon near the end. When I thought everything was clear, I was surprised to face an entirely new enemy, the Gatekeepter. This large spherical alien has a strong exterior shell and can reanimate dead enemies. I haven't seen what else it can do, since I focused fire on it and killed it quickly, but it has a lot of armor and health, so it's definitely very dangerous.
I have bought many upgrades, including some new sniper rifles, canons and even some new armor types. The coolest is the spider suit, which adds a grapple move to climb up buildings quickly. I give it to my snipers. I also have a new EXO suit, which is a heavy armor thing. I gave it to my grenadier, which adds a rocket attack and more armor. The aliens have made solid progress on the Avatar project, so I'll have to take down some of their facilities now.
