Every Day We Fight

Positive: Good writing on the world building. We haven't seen this kind of story in this genre of game yet. I really appreciated the new, interesting twists, that almost balanced out my biggest problem with the game. Great combat, excellent complexity and trade offs for commonly cheesed mechanics (cough OVERWATCH cough), good balance to difficulty as new enemy types are introduced and new mechanics are unlocked through story progression. This might be a worthy bandaid for the XCom shaped hole in your heart. Negative: Main characters are dispassionate, uninteresting and uncharismatic. The designs are ugly and unappealing, and it's hard to motivate myself to boot into the game. I just don't care about these frumpy, sexless, middle aged jerks who seem to hate and distrust each other. This is the biggest failing of the game, the humanity and emotional elements. I don't like the Metroidvania style exploration, where you need to unlock game mechanics through story prog...

The concept of a roguelite turn-based strategy game is nice, but I feel like you have to repeat too much, which makes it a bit repetitive. Especially since from what I have heard, you never get to expand your squad, which is sad because it limits your ability to experiment with different classes. I wanted to play more, but I got softlocked by a bug (I can’t leave the sewers anymore) after about 1.5 hours of playing. The game definitely has potential, but it still needs some updates and polishing.

I just finished the game and can honestly say it has been a good experience. The flow was good, the turn based strategy layer was great and the exploration was fun, if a bit clunky. The things I'd look to improve are the camera, the save game situation, and the lack of a warning that triggering the final mission locks you out of all the other achievements in the game because you cannot return to the city.

Dubios gameplay decisions in order to artificially increase gameplay time: YES! Crippling bugs really early: YES Please get away from this roguelike style games, we do not care about how long the gameplay is. Procedurally generate missions for additional loot or anything in the between. You can do better!

Love Xcom 2 but hate this games attempt to use the tactics. Its way, and i mean way too hard. almost impossible to beat even with multiple attempts and a silly amount of deaths. They want you to die over and over again to level up and advance, but it fails in too many ways for me to keep playing it. It starts to become the opposite of fun and that turns into me wanting to delete the game, which is what I'm doing. I do not advise anyone to play it unless they make some major changes so you can actually beat it. If there was a dark souls version of xcom tactics, this is it. The only difference being that with some practice you can actually beat dark souls.

There are a lot of positive reviews. This game could be good in the future. I think people are reviewing it based on that. As it is, version .7 feels like an early beta. Lots of bugs, crashes, quality of life issues, imbalances, and additions to the core game play loop are needed. I just don't understand the amount of positive reviews there are when beating the first battle gives an achievement that only 52% of purchasers have earned. I want to like this game. It needs quite a bit of work to get there though.

I've just completed the game, so I have complete understanding of all aspects of the current state of it (it is still in Early Access at the time of writing which is late August, 2025). [i]Long post, sorry, but worth reading, I hope.[/i] I have read some of the [b]negative[/b] comments from other users, some of them I halfheartedly agree with like yes, the main characters are not sexy, they are 30+ and 40+ and they are not overly interesting either but these criticism are missing the main point: this game is about _average_ people who had nothing really special going on in their lives until the alien invasion, they are not celebrities, models, super soldiers so I think them having "average" looks, physical builds and capabilities is both forgivable and understandable. I will continue with the [b]negatives[/b] since they are less in number: even though the world is detailed and well designed, it has still a lot of content repeating, like there are the same posters everywhere and the sam...

Concept, story and world building were great. Fun tactical game. Definitely recommend. At times though i felt it was very empty. No variety in characters or weapons. Enemies just became bullet sponges. It felt like there were many promises which were never implemented. Being early access still however, I hope they will provide more content for the game before its release.

Hard Yes. I`m a bit fan of the genre, and "Every day we fight" Brings a fresh, fun mix to the table. I enjoy the slow-motion tactical aim, and the much better implementation of aiming (compared to phoenix point). Another strong aspect thus far is the skill tree, which is meaningful! Still in the early acts, so not sure how good the endgame is, but so far, definitely worth my money and time.

Fun game with good story and interesting dialogue. As a fan of XCOM and Phoenix Point, I really enjoyed playing it. It has the humor of Jagged Alliance 3. Graphics are pretty good. Still some issues with movement and controller sensitivity to work out in early access. Some people are frustrated that certain things need to be "discovered" as the game progresses, but that's part of the appeal - and every good game changes a bit as it progresses to keep things interesting and give you new areas to explore.
