I loved Into space 2. Overall, it's great, but like many said, a bit long. Also, the previous one had the progression through space and then the landing on Mars that made it exceptional. Side missions were more interesting than the current system.
I noticed at least three winks to Aliens the movie. The sound of the pulse rifle, the mission at the reactor and all the eggs (again in the mission at the reactor). One of my favorite movie, thanks for letting us play it!
Great game, I really like it, but I don't feel much challenge. I never ran out of MP, or maybe once. I didn't had to use any items other than coffee... I mean it's not hard at all... I was only game over two or three times when facing a boss for the first time, beyond that, I was never put at risk... I would also prefer less types of magic and to care more about the tuning of my team members.
Is there a bug, when I do some operation (like feeding for instance), the game seem to hang for a fraction of a second. Otherwise, great game, short and sweep!!!
Just finished the game, simply amazing, x-com back again. I would like an undo button, how about having it available only three times per mission. This way, no abuses of explore/undo, for those you could be tempted. And if you miss click more than three times a mission, Man! you have bigger problems to deal with before playing this game.
