❤ Blend Tactical Combat and Stealthy Infiltration

Players must carefully plan their moves, using cover, line-of-sight, and specialized skills to sneak past or silently eliminate enemies. However, direct combat is also viable, as players can engage in pitched firefights using a variety of weapons and abilities. The game rewards creative approaches, as both stealthy and loud playstyles are supported.

❤ Dynamic Initiative Queue Adds Strategic Depth

Instead of a simple alternating turn structure, the game has a dynamic initiative queue that mixes the order of player and enemy actions. This introduces an extra layer of strategy, as players must consider not only their own actions, but also how to manipulate the initiative to their advantage - for example, delaying their turn to let enemies move first and set up an ambush.

❤ Extensive Character Customization and Progression

Players can assemble a team of diverse characters, each with their own skill trees and specializations. The customization options are deep, allowing players to create highly specialized operatives by mixing and matching class abilities, implants, and equipment. As characters gain experience, their skill trees can be further developed, unlocking powerful new abilities and synergies.

❤ Navigate Complex Faction Relationships

The game features a deep faction system, where players must navigate the web of alliances, rivalries, and personal connections between different groups and individuals. The choices players make during missions and interactions with NPCs can have significant consequences, opening up new opportunities or closing off others depending on their reputation and standing with various factions.

❤ Engaging Hacking Minigame Adds New Challenges

An integral part of the gameplay is the hacking minigame, which tasks the player's hacker operative with infiltrating computer systems. This involves a tactical, grid-based challenge of maneuvering through virtual defenses, disabling security measures, and extracting valuable data. The hacking system adds an engaging, high-stakes layer to missions, requiring careful planning and execution.

❤ Procedural Missions Ensure Replayability

While the game features a central storyline, a significant portion of the content is generated procedurally, with randomized mission objectives, enemy placements, and environmental layouts. This, combined with the player's ability to approach each situation in a variety of ways, ensures a high degree of replayability and encourages experimentation with different strategies and team compositions.
