I was inspired by Rail Heist (UFO50 game) to add "turn-based" combat which is great for tension. You can take your time exploring, but as soon as you hit an enemy, you'd better run for cover or try to beat all their friends.
Rail Heist was also the inspiration for adding the "bouncing dead adversaries" feature the other day.
