Good squad based tactical game

Im a big fan of squad AP based tactics game, like Jagged Alliance or XCOM. Cthulu Wasted Lands is a good entry in this catalog, definitely worth $5. Its quite challenging and will punish you for your mistakes. I would give this 5 stars except for a few flaws that really drag down gameplay. First, in a game that is this precise not having an "undo" button is a big problem. Especially considering how easy it is to have a character mistakenly walk a space when you dont intend it. Firing and special abilities are fine as they require pushing a conformation button, but walking when un intended is a killer. Second, there should be a save function mid-level. Levels are too long and difficult, plus the designers love of late mission "surprises" not to at least let you go back a few turns instead of completely restarting.

Other than that though, awesome game. Havent played the expansion missions, but I likely will someday. battling the forces of the unnameable one has never been such a blast. Great game!
