You’re crazy. This game is hard even on easy mode. Half the time, my soldiers miss; the other half, I move them close enough to ensure a hit and they get mind controlled from the side by sirens. Then, they start killing each other because of “return fire”… seemingly too stupid to not shoot back at a friendly who is mind controlled.
On top of that, I haven’t even been able to build my first gauss weapon yet and already the Havens are dropping like flies from mutant attacks… too far away for me to get to in time, and I only have two transports with 8 people. I can’t find anymore Phoenix Point havens, even though I’ve been scanning like mad. So, even if I wanted to post a squad on the other side of the planet, they’d never get to heal up at base.
So much wrong with this game right now. I enjoy it, but the early game balance needs to be addressed and some defense to prevent mind control should be made available. Hell, wrap their heads in a faraday cage…I don’t care. It’s better than my team being mind controlled and killing each other.
And techs should be able to remotely deactivate medikits of mind controlled allies so they can’t go healing the damn enemy…
