That doesn't sound too optimistic…

Is there loot?
Is there an incentive to investigate the maps or do special things?
Are there timers?
Are there respawns?

* There seem to be infinite XCom 2 style "reinforcements" when you kill every originally spawned enemy until you escape the map through the exit point. That means that eventually you're gonna have to ignore enemies and run away from them if you ever want the encounter to end.

I've been playing a little bit, and I'm not convinced this game is for me. The tactical combat feels lacking tactical appeal at all. Basically you gang up on enemies and shoot them, scenarios are quite vertical, but it hardly matters, just like cover doesn't seem to matter either and in general it doesn't feel "good" to navigate through the encounters. Scenarios are huge and fights drag on for too long, most of the time spent in getting your units from point A to point B in a desperate caravan of yawns.[..]

I haven't played XCOM 2 yet, so I don't know how much I don't like this in Necromunda.
Do you get XP for kills or just for the mission goals?

Looks like I will have to wait for a discount or bundle on this one…

It might be early to give it a harsh judgement, but I'm a fan of WH40k and I was looking forward to this after I fully finished the Mordheim game that was released a few years ago from the same developer, and I think Necromunda is a step down from that one.

The pro point which may entice me to force myself to keep playing a bit longer is that the story mode is quite compelling to me so far, but I'm honestly struggling to enjoy the gameplay.
