Ryan Rau –
You don’t see many “Space Invader” themed games these days, and Under Falling Skies captures that feeling through and through. Being a solo-player game is the only way to pull this one off. Games are short and fast, and you will fail more times than win. There is a bunch of luck in the dice rolls which can be frustrating at times, but that is countered with the short play time. The campaign mode is 90% of this game, and is much needed to flush out the variability. Afterwards you will have a bunch of content to mix-and-match, or to play as one-off scenarios. High Recommendation from me!
