New turn-based tactics game Menace blends the alien threat of XCOM with the squad drama of Baldur's Gate 3
While XCOM 3 remains a pipedream for now, there are an increasing number of tactical RPGs ready to step up to the empty half-cover and take their shot. Among them, Menace is one I've had a particularly close eye on for years, and now it's finally here. Combining all that stats-driven, alien-blasting goodness with a nightmarish, Terminator-style threat, and then rolling in a squad relationship dynamic that feels somewhere between Jagged Alliance and Baldur's Gate 3, it's racked up more than 600,000 Steam wishlists. Now, it's time to take the threat to the eponymous Menace for real.
