Reclaim Earth in XCOM 2

XCOM 2 for Xbox One brings back the beloved tactical strategy game series where players must take back a planet. Set in a dystopian future where Earth is overrun by alien forces, you’re tasked with rebuilding XCOM and leading the resistance. Engage in strategic warfare, manage resources, and turn the tide against impossible odds.

Command the Avenger: A Mobile HQ

As commander, you control the Avenger, an alien spacecraft repurposed into XCOM’s mobile headquarters. Navigate through an open world where every decision shapes your course. Choose how to deploy your strike team, manage support from the global population, and counter enemy operations. The freedom of exploration and tactical planning transforms each campaign into a uniquely tailored experience.

Build Your Resistance with Diverse Soldier Classes

Recruit and customize a squad of resistance fighters, each belonging to one of five distinct soldier classes. Every class has its own skill tree, allowing players to design specialized soldiers for specific combat tactics. This depth in character customization enables a strategic approach, granting flexibility as you engage various threats on the battlefield.

Tactical Guerrilla Warfare: New Combat Systems

Tactical options are plentiful in XCOM 2, incorporating new gameplay mechanics that enhance guerrilla warfare tactics. Utilize concealment to launch ambushes on enemy patrols or loot fallen adversaries for valuable resources. Rescue VIPs and carry wounded comrades to extraction points, making decisions that significantly influence battle outcomes.

Face Off Against New Alien Foes

The alien forces are not just a single enemy but a compilation of varied foes, including formidable new alien species and the oppressive ADVENT enforcers. This expanded roster of enemies introduces distinct tactical challenges, ensuring each engagement feels fresh. Adapting tactics to counter these diverse threats is crucial for success in reclaiming Earth.

Research and Develop Advanced Technology

Upgrade and equip your troops by configuring rooms on the Avenger and utilizing resources carefully. Researching and developing new weapons and armor allows you to respond to enemy threats with tailored tactics. Having skilled Scientists and Engineers on your team enhances your capability to adapt, further solidifying your position in the ongoing battle.

Engage in Competitive Multiplayer Fights

For those looking to compete, XCOM 2 offers a head-to-head multiplayer mode. Mix human and alien squads to battle against one another on randomly-generated maps, providing countless opportunities for tactical showdowns. This element of competition extends the game’s longevity and appeals to players seeking to test their strategies against others.
