It has card mechanics for actions too - more in common with Slay the Spire during combat, but you can position yourself like in X-COM.
It's a very interesting blend of a few game types 😀

For me it was Final Fantasy X, when you get to the location from the opening title scene (no spoilers).
Up until reaching it in game, I didn't know if you could get there or the significance it would hold until that point.
