From what I've seen so far, it's a turn based tactics game like Jagged
Alliance.  I'm happy to have it.  I have almost no experience with this
kind of game, which means there is plenty to enjoy.  I've spent some
time in Shadowrun Returns and that's it.

It looks like you've only the single character rather than a team,
though, and it's more stealth-focused. Although it gets loud when
you're discovered.

Apparently the sequel is being released in a month, which is probably
why this game is being offered as a freebie. There is also a prequel
to the sequel (Intravenous II: Mercenarism,
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2651330/Intravenous_2_Mercenarism/
also available gratis).

It doesn't look like a bad game, but neither does it really stand out
from the crowd. It's fine as a freebie but I'd never pay for it.

And the name is misleading. Intravenous implies the blood remains
inside! But once the bullets start flying, the blood in this game is
anything but inside! It's on the walls, the floor, the trees, the
skybox... it's false advertising, I tell you! ;-) ;-) ;-)
