Wildermyth will fill the XCOM sized hole in your heart.

 Wildermyth - Multiplayer Update - Steam News
 
After only 3 hours with this already critically acclaimed gem, I smell a GOTY. This husband/wife team has absolutely blown me away. A simple, kid friendly, style belies fantastic turn based tactics and charming characterization. Like… imagine if your xcom sqaudies could talk and had procedurally generated character arcs with each other. I've logged an embarrassing amount of time in war of the chosen and I say these tactics measure up. Just make it through the first act, the training wheels will come flying off, I promise.There's only a couple thousand people playing this on steam and folks... we need to pump those numbers up. This deserves a modding second life akin to skyrim. 

It's dialogue is charming in it's earnestness and you'll love it if you give it a chance.
