EuroGamer Sweden: "Firaxis has made an absolutely wonderful modernization of a classic strategy game. The deep and evolving gameplay is among the best I've experienced in a game like this, along with the fact that everything feels extremely polished and crafted with a great deal of love for both the genre and the original game."
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.
EUROGAMER GAVE A 10?
Wooooooooot
The demo on XBL was pretty sweet and reminded a lot of the old PC classic. But updated, in the good way. :)
Great game. Its definitely not a 10 due to technical issues though.
Bugs are pretty annoying in this game, it is not nice to see your best guy fall under the map when he gets downed and die. However it is still an amazing game. I have sinked a lot of time into it and I really enjoy how the game rewards failure and by that I mean you gain a lot of knowledge for your next attempt at saving the planet. Very good game.
