Our take on Beat the Humans
The focus on turn-based squad tactics gives up continuous real-time action. Combat calls for selecting abilities and weapons while considering the battlefield, so the pace is built around discrete turns rather than uninterrupted fighting.
What is Beat the Humans?
Lead an alien squad against human invaders across a galactic system.
The game combines turn-based tactical combat with role-playing elements. Squad members use abilities, explosives, melee and ranged weapons, and combat robots. On the space map, missions include capturing and defending planets, rescuing civilians, thwarting attacks, and fighting monsters on abandoned asteroids. The squad is assembled from a customized set of generated heroes and can be strengthened with equipment. Combat depends on soldier skills, battlefield conditions, and choices about how to engage opponents. Allies can support the effort, and collected artifacts provide advantages in battle. The conflict centers on whether the free races of the galaxy can resist the human army.
