The strategy comes in with how many of your action points you decide to use by moving or attacking your opponents before it’s the enemies’ turn to decide how they wish to outmanoeuvre you. You start off with one lone scout that you move into allotted spaces as you whittle down enemy health bars using weapons and special moves.

While Spaceland does little to reinvent or add anything new to the genre, it does greatly capture what makes it so invigorating to play. With the series’ recent revitalization with XCOM: Enemy Unknown and the genre’s recent indie hits like Mutant Year Zero: Road to Eden, Spaceland looks to join the pack in its newfound attention. Spaceland takes its cues from one of gaming’s marquee franchises, X-COM. Really, it’s this setting and bare-plot that are Spaceland’s biggest offenders – while they do nothing wrong, they certainly don’t do anything right nor anything to make this game appeal in anyway besides its gameplay. However these variations are so generic that sometimes it can feel like you’ve just taken a big lump of that 0% fat Greek yoghurt and put it in your mouth as you move your super-smart science engineer girl, muscular macho no-nonsense marine and wise-crackin’ wise guy to new spaces on the field. Spaceland is set in a land in space (unsurprisingly) brimming with character and enemy variations. It’s just been ported to Xbox One for £16.74 – a great price for a title that should last you 15 hours to complete the game on Normal Mode.
