The main issue I have with the combat is just how slow and tedious it seems at times. The hit-circle mechanics are a little bewildering at first, but easy enough to figure out people making it out to be some kind of "ground breaking" answer to X-Com's "rng" are fooling themselves the system is very simple. It's not especially bad, or anything, but it's not particularly engaging, either. The main issue I have with Phoenix Point is the combat. That part of the game is fairly good, with a decent back-story/setting, and it should be enough to keep you interested if you found X-Com's story-line to be engaging. Phoenix Point does a pretty good job at setting up the game world, factions, politics, etc., and the "game loop" is very similar to X-Com: manage your base, train/develop your soldiers, and "scan" for missions on the geoscape. This game has many similarities to X-Com, but, at the end of the day, it's not X-Com.
