the least good of the great XCOMs
i have it on steam when it comes to XCOM, all of the strategy games are good, X-COM: UFO Defense, X-COM Terror from the Deep, X-COM: Apocalypse, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, XCOM 2 and of course XCOM: Chimera Squad of these XCOM: CS is the leats good, but its still a great game, introducing turn based mechanics very different from the rest of the game, as well as a very different setting, more cyberpunky, taking place AFTER the alien war in XCOM 2, in City 31, the one city that was spared the bulk of the destruction from the war on account of the fact that its inhabitants willingly surrendered to XCOM forces, aliens, hybrids and humans live in an uneasy peace, as mistrust is felt everywhere as the city lies on the brink of collapse from forces within you control Chimera Squad, an experimental peacekeeping unit XCOM has setup, employing alien, hybrid and human soldiers working together to save City 31 the game has a good premise, and the bits of lore dropped between missions is great, dialogue and ingame quips... could be better, the game is also buggy and there are some questionable design choices that rob the game of the high stakes the previous games had, still, well worth playing for any fan of strategy games
Is this helpful to you?
