    Witchfire - dark fantasy shooter from developers of The Vanishing of Ethan Carter - now available on Early Access

    Longer HP and stamina bars really felt. Not sure about the other stats.

    X-COM OpenXcom Thread

    On base defence you are not limited by the vessel capacity, so amassed cheap and/or 2x2 units can be handy. Dogs, reapers, gyrocopters worked fell for me.
