Played the new build for Phoenix Point.
First attempt was a breeze. It was the standard demo map, which starts you at the edge of the map, so it was easy to have the new vehicle take point and everyone else move up behind it.
Tried a random map next and got deployed right in the centre of the map. That went bad real fast. My sniper kept missing. My heavy was failing to pierce and shred armour. Everyone died. Everyone expect for the aliens that is.
Next random map I won, but only two of the four troopers survived. The mechanic got stuck with the vehicle, tried to dash to cover but the boss monster caught up with him. The heavy was pummeling the boss from afar but not fast enough. After taking out the monster, the sniper had his rifle shot out of his hand and ended up running circles to try and get to a cache or a corpse. The commando had to take the last couple of surviving aliens out by himself. Out of ammo he managed to grab the heavy's machine gun and blast the last alien.
