Announced a couple of months back for PlayStation 4, developer Reco Technology has already gone and slapped a release date on its turn-based strategy title named 1971 Project Helios. Take a step back in time and visit this alternate reality where meteor strikes plunged Earth into a new ice age on Tuesday 9th June 2020.
As detailed back in February, in 1971 Project Helios you'll control eight different characters across turn-based battles and exploration of a truly chilling environment. Three factions will be the stopgap between you and the successful rescue of a key scientist, with skill trees to work through and upgrades to unlock along the way. Think XCOM 2 and you're along the right tracks.

The upcoming summer months are looking rather bleak when it comes to PS4 releases thanks to the Coronavirus, so this indie title could provide a welcome distraction to the events of the current climate. Are you going to check out 1971 Project Helios this June? Await your turn in the comments below.

I'll give it try, because there is a lack of good turn-based games. Hope it won't be too complicated, because i love xcom for its simplicity.
Will definitely check this out! 😃
Very interested in this.
So like XCOM except you play as Jake Gyllenhaal in The Day After Tomorrow.
Love xcom, love Mario+rabbids, will keep an eye on this one!
Looks pretty cool. Seems to have more freedom of movement when compared to XCOM, which is great.
Someone says X-Com like..
That reminds I must start Mutant Year Zero after I'm done with Resident Evil 3.
There is an indie turn based out now you guys should try. I forget the name but it's about being a space marshal and getting called to a planet but you crash there. It has some cool mechanics. This one I'll give a look also I enjoy me some turn based. I will still play Xcom to this day with my prebuilt characters.
