Paul writes: "Element Space on Xbox One is a game that apes two of the giants of sci-fi gaming - X-COM and Mass Effect - and instead of using this as inspiration and building on them, instead tries to ride two horses and ultimately ends up falling down the gap in the middle."
Element Space tackles the XCOM-style cover based tactical shooter genre with a dash of Mass Effect moral choices. As a budget title, it’s innovative, allowing multiple playthroughs based on your morality. It would benefit better from a traditional mouse setup than a controller, though.
Gaming Boulevard wrote a review of Element: Space, explaining why it's a fun tactical game.
WTMG's Aaron Pierce: "Long story short, if you want to play a tactical, turn-based game, it may be best to just play X-Com. It may even be a better plan to play Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. I’m not here to tell you what to do though. I’m just here to tell you that this would be a game that I could at no point in good faith recommend anyone to play unless they’re desperate for a brand new game of this genre. Even then, the game looks and controls like it’s older than most."
