"X-Com: Enemy Unknown is a turn based tactical game developed by Fireaxis Games and published by 2k Games released back in October: the game is the latest entry of the long running X-Com franchise and a remake of the first game of the series called X-Com: Ufo Defense."
XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.
If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.
Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.
Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me
It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.
There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy. To be sure, we are more often than not talking about turn-based tactical mobile games, specifically titles in line with the iconic landmark series (XCOM and Jagged Alliance) that made the genre a genre.
Some games age better than others. When a game is getting on in years, mods can help give the game a little push and make it worth playing again.
You hardly can call it a DLC ! It was suppose to be there in the 1st place :D
would have really sucked if they made you pay for those basic feature besides if anything this is a patch not a DLC. talking about patching they have alot of it to, xcom is the buggiest game i have played since..well..all of the Bethesda games.
"This new batch of DLC is free for all versions of the console due to a specific decision of the team: these options were supposed to be in the main game but there wasn’t enough time for testing."
So they're basically admitting they rushed it out the door? No wonder the game has some annoying glitches
Haha c'mon guys, give them a break. At least they aren't charging 800ms points like the 2mb patch in Halo Wars.
Great tip for developers; cut some content from a game, and later give it to people for 'free'. It puts you in the good books with the naive and stupid. EA pulled it off with ME3 just fine.
Xcom is a good game though, glad to see good new IP's last year (Sleeping Dogs, Dishonored). Although Xcom isn't exactly new, it was great for console gamers at least.
When patches go under the guise of dlc, the gaming world will shake.
