Strike Team Hydra is a scifi squad-based tactical combat game that can be thought of as XCOM lite. It did come out back around 2018, so it's a bit old, and there apparently was an Android version, but this is the PC version.
This is a recording of special missions 9 to 12 (under special missions), available through multiple difficulty levels, from casual all the way up to extreme. We'll start on casual difficulty level, at least for our initial playthrough, but eventually we'll work our way up to extreme difficulty.
With 12 types of soldiers, (take 6 members into battle, you can have more than 1 of each type), you are the marine component of Strike Cruiser Hydra, and your objective is to engage the Sethari, who's trying to capture or destroy the SS Talwar, the only battleship in this sector. Go in there, eliminate enemies, or survive long enough for us to get some reinforcements to you. Good luck.
Tactical notes: I personally don't like Nova Marine (shotgun), Rifter (no wep), Psi Op (pistol), Spectre (sword and pistol). or Incinerator (flamethrowers). The rest are either missile shooters or rifle shooters (Assault Marine, SPIDR bot, infiltrator, Cyborg, Command, Medic, Vanguard). Though they each have their uses... sometimes. Some are powerful early on, some are good for mid-game, and some are good for late game... assuming you're playing normal difficulty. On casual or easy, they aren't that different, and if you play the way I do, any difficulty level is the same... Because we are basically grinding for ranger extenders.
Anyway... On casual, the only place you'll find range extenders are "belts" and "sniper hoods" (helmets). But as you increase the difficulty level, you'll find better equipment and weapons that will extend the weapons range. And being able to shoot at range 12-plus is a TREMENDOUS advantage over enemies that either want to melee you (range 0) or only have range of 5-8. It basically lets you shoot them for an extra turn.
So come observe Strike Team Hydra... and let's see if you agree with the way I play...
