Apr 27, 2020Firaxis developers have sold themselves to politicians, they disgrace the great franchise.
Firaxis and 2k games are ashamed.

Apr 25, 2020It's a reasonably fun Xcom game, but the off-game political propaganda is a little too strong to ignore. Yet another game company that is more worried about lecturing us than entertaining us.

Apr 25, 2020A truly disappointment, nothing like previous Xcom games.
-Really small and repetitive
-No characters creation
-Characters can't die
-No base building
-All maps of the game are small rooms in sequence.
-Writing and characters are the worst seen in last 10 years.
Buy Xcom 2 or Xcom EW, this is basically the mobile version. -

Apr 24, 2020The gameplay is pretty basic, nothing exciting, but it is a budget game. However the writing and characters are just awful, I can't deal with all these sassy people and woke dialog. Why do they keep doing this in movies and games when it always results in failure?

Apr 24, 2020The game is fun. It has however a completly diferent feel from the other Xcom games ,the tension from trying to go around and hunting the enemy is gone.
The game is more action heavy.
I expected Xcom Swat , and that is exacly what i got. -

May 2, 2020The game itself bring nothing new for the price tag except the movement one by one. And a single player game that can be run without internet.
-
May 25, 2020Bugged mess with outdated graphics, dumb dialog, and I think it's word XCom.
-
May 11, 2020Good story but too buggy to buy at this point. This is why I should not buy AAA titles at release. Will it go to consoles? Imho yes eventually after all the bugs have been fixed.

May 6, 2020В игре нет белых оперативников, если вы топите за равноправие, то должны были добавить их. За такое лицемерие - минус вам в карму.

Apr 25, 2020Idea of the work of a special unit from the eyes of a 13-year-old girl.
With absolutely inappropriate jokes and interruptions to ridiculous dialogues.
It is better that they continue to remain silent professionals than ridiculous bro that by fan play war. -
Apr 26, 2020The gameplay is nice enough with some decent innovations, but the writing is beyond horrible and ruins the rest of the game for me
-
Apr 30, 2020It's not XCOM. The game mechanics is simplified and cropped.
Characters are flat. Moreover, it's not a game. It's very stupid diversity propaganda.
Girls are good. White men are bad.
That's **** -

May 5, 2020Dont mind me, game is good, but not what we need. I don't sympathize to this new world, to characters. I dont feel tension as in XCOM 2 or Phoenix point. I dont feel any connections between me and characters. Please make new game more like Phoenix point do or Gears tactics, but with all things from XCOM like globe, tension, dispare, Evolution, Base managment. Thats just all this genre needs.

May 4, 2020We need to do something about liberals/progressives they are literally destroying all entertainment and turning it into propaganda.
This is just another in a long list of beloved franchises infiltrated and poisoned by “woke” propagandists who don’t care about gameplay or story, just trying to brainwash you. -
Apr 26, 2020Looks like a mod for X-Com, not even add-on. Extremely poor design, boring characters, zero narrative. Nothing remains of the seriousness of the original, we play as an analogue of "birds of prey", with the same terrible style and a complete lack of immersion.

Apr 28, 2020Another series spoiled by political correctness and contempt for the canons.
-
Apr 27, 2020Low price is not an excuse for a boring and monotonous game with a bad plot, inappropriate visual style, controversial mechanics and bugs. Such a “project” can bring easy money to the developer, but it spoils the entire series. Absolutely not worth the money and time spent.

Apr 29, 2020OMG Firaxis what are you doing?! I am very afraid for the future XCOM series.
-

Apr 26, 2020Just a bland and cringy version of XCOM. The characters are all extremely unlikeable, the humor is extremely immature for a game meant for 18+ and the story just bad.
The gameplay is also a downgrade from XCOM 2.
Just feels like a quick-buck cashgrab overall. -

May 9, 2021I see a lot of people complaining how they changed the feel of the series. I am not an XCOM fan, so for me it is a pretty good tactics game. However it tends to get a bit repetitive. And it has some mobile game mechanics, but none of the UI cleanliness or the addictiveness. The rating would be higher if they went all in, in any direction.

May 8, 2020XCOM Enemy within + XCOM 2 + Arcade of the same type scripted assault on a small room, which can be implemented manually in any other tactics of the game. ****

Apr 24, 2020Very enjoyable spinoff.
Definitely not as complex and complete as other xcom entries. But worth it as a low priced game. -
Apr 28, 2020This is a great game! A legit spin-off. Yes, the changes can´t match everyones minds, and the history is not that good, but the game make it up for it with fast mechanical actions, and good team roll. All soldiers are different, with new tactics and skills. It´s new and fresh, a bald move from Firaxis that I support. Yes, is not the new xcom 2, but for it´s price is an excellent choice.

Jan 23, 2021Stupid sh*t of stupid sh*t. I hope they won't use features from this game in xcom 3.
Dont buy, Dont play. I regret that bought this sh*t. -

Apr 28, 2020If you take the game for what it is - a cut down streamlined version of XCOM at a great price then it is most enjoyable. I had a blast and recommend it.

May 1, 2020Favorite Thing: I liked the turn order approach and the ability to use both humans and aliens.
Least Favorite Thing: It needed some more time in the oven. I've had crashes, broken animations, hovering characters, incompletable missions, and more.
Date Completed: 2020-05-01
Playtime: ~ 27h
Enjoyment: 8/10
Recommendation: If you liked any of the XCOM games then it's a no-brainer. -

Apr 30, 2020Above-average shooter, but I'm giving it a 10 because of Snake Boobies and handsome Sectoids.
-
Apr 28, 2020For th price, it's a really good game. There is a lot of features from XCOM2, the characters are really cool and different of what we already know in the franchise. Il really love the new turn mechanics it brings more tactics to explore.

Apr 29, 2020The game is ok. Don't expect X-COM 3. It is a spinoff that is worth the 10 bucks I paid for it. Combat is kind of dumbed down, but unique and acceptable.

May 1, 2020Великолепная игра. Получил значительно больше чем ожидал от небольшого аддона за семь баксов.

Apr 27, 2020Good game, they need to fix the bugs and the UI is awful. At least when you play with a controller like me, it has so many glaring problems. It's especially shameful because those problems would not be ok in an indie game, so in a game made by a veteran AAA studio?

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jul 24, 2020A small tactical game that plays well and looks good. If you like XCOM and you don´t have a problem with more stereotypical missions and sometimes a bigger role of RNG, you will probably like it. [Issue#304]
-
CD-ActionJun 25, 2020It’s a fantastic, albeit rushed, XCOM for beginners. And a whole lot of freshness in the franchise. [07/2020, p.43]

Jun 22, 2020I do not regret the time I spent playing Chimera Squad, but it’s a definite downgrade compared to the excellent XCOM 2: War of the Chosen.
