Hard, Turn-Based, FREEWARE!!!

[Civilian]

Found this cute little game when randomly surfing the www today: https://www.teardown.se/

It once was developed as a remake of the SpaceHulk series but due to copyright issues they changed it to a different, yet similar theme. There are many mods available (new squads, new campaigns, gfx , sounds) and the game comes with a tutorial and a mapeditor. It's turn-based and freeware. I play-tested some missions and it is very good but also rather hard, ...maybe that could also be caused by my inferior tactics

 

Can't wait to see FullAuto making an AAR of that game

 

There is also an ALIENS Total Conversion available, but I haven't tested it yet.

Any direct link to the download itself? Gamersgate says it can't find it and I don't seem to be able to find any other links.

 

Edit: Here's another game called Frozen Synapse by a UK based developer. It works like LSN (simultaneous turns).

https://www.strategyinformer.com/pc/alienas...game/34342.html That link worked for me. If it doesn't work, post here and I will upload it somewhere for you.

 

edit: I discovered that constantly moving and attacking aggressively helps enormously to survive those missions. However one has to make sure to keep a safe distance between the aliens and the troops. The humans are rather helpless in close combat and easily overwhelmed. Dead soldiers are a common thing in that game, so you either have to make backups or have to accept that sometimes only one soldier survives the mission...
