Ok have the game.

1 Jun they have released an update which adds some controls that are 
absolutly vital, at least for me.

Game seems to be stable enough no crashes and the patch fixes some known 
crashes.

To sum up this is basically X-com Defense redone.

That said its actually better than the original, some of the graphics are 
better some seem a bit comic.

The biggest changes are the inability to purchase soldiers, scientists and 
technicians, they appaerntly show up are certain intervals.

So don't lose your soldiers early on, you'll be horrible handy capped for 
the next couple months as your roster fills back up.

I still don't know how you build additional living quarters at seconary 
bases so to get more soldiers, ditto for labs and workshops.

Overall if you loved Xcom defense you will love this game,perhaps more than 
the original.
