Fallen: A2P Protocol - Preview @ Gamers FTW

Gamers FTW has a new preview of the funded kickstarter game Fallen: A2P Protocol.

The game focuses around the turn-based strategy style, allowing players to choose actions for each character including attack, reload or scavenge. The game play mechanics are extremely reminiscent of X-COM, one of the games that inspired the team at Red Katana. Characters can be moved anywhere within a highlighted grid of their current location, allowing players to control their engagements by using cover, finding lines of site and tactically positioning their squad. The attack system itself is based on a percentage scale and is affected by environmental factors such as range, cover and even the weather. This is the same attack style we have seen from titles such as Fallout but with an added level of dynamic depth due to the changing weather and destructible environment. All the action takes place in a vast and inhospitable world, complete with hostile weather and vision impairing day-night cycles, requiring careful exploration to recruit allies and gather scarce resources whilst customising and upgrading your characters along the way.
