I have a lot of fun playing this game.
It's a top down shooter. I hear there's a way to make it first person but I wouldn't want to. You select a squad member you want to be, select a primary and secondary loadout and then a gadget. It's a bit like the movie aliens but instead of sitting in med lab waiting for them to come to you, you're moving through the entire complex and trying to stop the swarm.
A few tips:
If you reload before you were done with the rounds in that magazine, you lose those rounds
If you're playing single player, press v to make the bots follow you
If you're playing single player press the function keys to take over control of the different squad members.
Press 1 to use your gadget
Press 4 while facing a weldable door to make one of your squad mates weld closed or cut open that door
Only a tech can "run a bypass", so protect them

This suprised me.
I hope they don't use to test some new payment plan or something :X.
Great game, recently got my hands on something else in the last week or so that's been consuming my attention fairly well though...
