9.0
It's easily the most playable and refined of Wave Light's TRPGs, and the change in theme certainly helps to freshen up even the returning elements. It's not a replacement for the soon-to-be-departed XCOM, but it's not really trying to be. It's a straightforward, well-built tactical role-playing experience, one that deserves a spot in the collection of any fan of the genre. One can only hope that two more rise in its place.
