The brief the AI writes back
First playable: a small grid, two units a side and cover. The loop to get right: move, take cover, act, end turn.
Build, play, adjust
Compare with the games that define the genre: XCOM 2 (Firaxis Games, 2016), Into the Breach (Subset Games, 2018) and Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope (Ubisoft Milan and Paris, 2022).
What makes it finished
You can lose a unit to a bad tile, win from a good one, and retry the same map.
