# What kind of game is this?

- Turn-based, not real-time. One side acts with all of its units, then the other side acts.
- Isometric maps with walls, doors, cover, and line of sight.
- Each marine spends action points (AP) to move, shoot, reload, change stance, and use gear.
- You outfit the squad before every battle on the loadout screen.
- Carrying too much weight reduces that marine’s AP for the fight.
