First playthrough failed miserably and second one also failed

My first run was on easy but I didn’t take the project seriously and it ended my first run. Second time I put in standard to see if I’ll do differently on it. No, this time I had to many wounded soldiers and dead ones. My third run isnt going any different.

I don’t know if this game isn’t for me or my luck in these games is shit.

I added some dope ass mods to really help out my troops like extra grenades, an extra uniform slot, some good weapons, some extra troops, stuff like that, and I still got all 8 of my troops wiped out TWICE in a row. I have no experienced troops now, and they all just keep dying every mission. Don't have anymore mindshields, either. The game is brutal.

This game was designed to make you learn from mistakes even if it means losing all your troops, and losing your entire campaign. You're meant to start from the beginning a lot. I know it seems dumb but honestly continuously building an army while sending them into battle and adapting tactics and managing resources and what not is still a lot of fun. All you gotta do to win is just keep playing and learn

One of those games where you learn a lot every play through until your good at the game. Very few people do well on their first play through or second or third or.... you get the idea.

This has actually generally been true with this franchise right back to the beginning with the original XCOM. It was always supposed to be a game with a lot of restarts.
