Xcom: Enemy Unknown Tips & Advice

Eskimo Press: Xcom: Enemy Unknown is often praised for it's unforgiving difficulty. If you are planning to play on the highly recommended Iron Man setting, your game will become that much more intense as every move and choice you make is saved and cannot be undone. It wouldn't hurt to prepare yourself with some useful hints, some of which I have learned through the multiple retries and failures.

Original was great. This is hmm, entertaining to a degree

Amping up the difficulty makes the game far more enjoyable IMO, propelling it from good to great

SatanSki4053d ago

I didnt found new xcom more difficult but painly schematic. To me tactical combat feels more like Incubation then original xcom. Game could be great if they didnt mess this up

Iron Man setting sounds tough! Thanks for the tips ;)

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.

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930173d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

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

JL2930172d ago (Edited 172d ago )

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.

Ten Best Tactical Mobile Games

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.
