I was wondering if any of you knew of any other games that had used the Laser Squad Nemesis control system?
For those of you unaware of Nemesis - Unlike Xcom, your troops do not move instantly. You give them orders, which are represented by arrows and lines on the map, then when you have finished, all your troops, and your opponent's, move simultaneously. The movement phases are 10 seconds then you give more orders.
This means that opportunity fire, strafing, and dodging all work far more realistically than in Xcom, and there can be no exploits like weapon throwing.
In my opinion it's the ideal control method for tactical games, but sadly none of the later Xcoms used it, and even Phoenix Point doesn't.
I'm aware of Door Kickers and Breach & Clear, which use a similar method, but they are much more basic.
