GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Kitsu]

Valkyria Chronicles has its own overwatch feature that's already more like Code Name: S.T.E.A.M.'s (in that it's point and wait) with the difference being that STEAM's is tied to resources while VC's is just "keep shooting at them as long as you can see them"
I guess its similarity to X-Com's overwatch is that units pause while an overwatch is active; note that this feature is barely important in X-Com, but due to the possibility of being stunned by overwatch in STEAM, it's far more deadly there

I'd say STEAM is more like Valkyria Chronicles in general, but with a slightly higher emphasis on stealth (since avoiding enemy overwatches is way more important here), more AP/steam management (since AP is used for both movement AND shooting, instead of just movement), and X-Com's squad size (and maybe its plot a tiny bit, too, lol). And then, of course, its story is... well, its story.

In a nutshell, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is a turn-based third-person-shooter with strategy and stealth elements, set in a steam punk world featuring Abraham Lincoln, zany 1800s literary characters, and Lovecraftian monsters in a golden age of comics artstyle.

I'm sad at how poorly it sold, but not surprised, considering it's aimed at several different niches at once.
