The steam sale of Confrontation got me it for 7 bucks, and I think I've already gotten my money's worth after playing all morning.

It's a decent squad-based strategy title w/ some rpg elements (leveling, upgrading equipment). Normally not into sci-fi other than Warhammer 40K, but this one is pretty cool actually. It's also based off a tabletop wargame, cant say I've ever seen or heard of it otherwise.
