    It's like Scooby Doo X-COM, but shorter and simpler. Instead of a team of agents, you control the same 3 characters each mission, and trot around the map killing paranormal enemies to unlock research paths for weapons, gadgets, and upgrades. The combat is similar to Valkyria Chronicles, turn-based with each character having 8 seconds to perform real-time free actions. One thing I didn'tIt's like Scooby Doo X-COM, but shorter and simpler.

    Lack of story aside, it’s hard to argue that Research and Destroy doesn’t do a decent job of developing its own niche within this crowded turn-based strategy genre. It’s definitely better if you can play it with others – whether in-person or online – but it’s solid enough that even if you’re playing solo, you should get a few hours of fun out of it.

    Research and Destroy feels like a refreshing change of pace thanks to its blend of turn based strategy and real time action. However, you’ll need to play with others to get the best from it.

    Research and Destroy, is a comedy strategy game reminiscent of titles like Worms or Xcom.
