X-COMish base/squad building with giant robots in a large overworld map. But the tactical battles are the greatest thing of all time:

It's Frozen Synapsy-like planned simultaneous movement, [i]but you can see five seconds into the future.[/i] So your plans are full of dancing and maneuvering around so that when they shoot (which you know when it'll be), you'll be under cover or otherwise able to reduce damage, meanwhile flanking them to get the perfect shot in when they're exposed.

It's hard to describe, but once you see it you'll say, oh yeah, Pinback was right, this is the greatest thing of all time.

Nobody here will ever play it because it's on Epic, but there ya go.
