Aye, I'd still recommend it. I wouldn't recommend any other difficulty than normal though.I have many thoughts about Duck Boar Xcom. Many are rant-y.
I have 12 hours played according to steam, 4 or 5 of those were spent restarting the game several times.
That being said, when it finally clicked and I got over the initial weird slump, I think that it is indeed worth it.
I can go into detail if you want, but be warned, it will be rambly and rant-y because I dont know how else to express my frustrations with some stuff in that game.
