Xcom: Chimera Squad is proof positive that Firaxis are masters of the genre. The perfect starting point for newcomers, yet featuring enough depth for franchise vets, there is no reason to skip this title, especially at its bargain price.
XCOM: Chimera Squad is yet another fantastic addition to the 25-year-old franchise’s quality lineup of titles, delivering a new suite of mechanics that bring a whole new dimension of strategy to its already addictive combat.
Excellent tactics game that successfully iterates on the XCOM formula. Great additions include the interleaved turns, unique characters, and general "feel" of the game. The fact that this game is selling for $10 is an absolute steal. Side note: Please be aware that a vast majority of negative reviews for Chimera Squad are from alt-right whiners who think that having aliens on your squad somehow is a "SJW" ploy. Their weird, projected racism on to aliens that don't actually exist should be proof enough that this game rules. After all, anyone who makes the worst dregs of the Internet mad is doing something right.
XCOM Chimera Squad is a brillant spin-off which introduces a huge list of fresh new ways to play. AI and difficulty level are not perfectly balanced, but fun is guaranteed.
XCOM: Chimera Squad is essentially the Agents of Shield to XCOM 2’s Avengers. It gently plays with the formula, and tells the peripheral stories of a much wider world on a much tighter budget and with much smaller stakes. In other words, it’s XCOM but chilled – and, in these desperate times, that’s just fine.
This lovely little spin-off is going to alienate very few people. A cheap as chips production that pares 25-years of a bloated XCOM back to a purer and leaner form. Like Rocky Balboa in, well, all of them. Granted the production values and polish is wanting, but the more intimate squad feel and new Breach mechanics became hopelessly addictive the more I played. And when it comes to XCOM, that’s enough for it to feel like a direct hit.
XCOM: Chimera Squad is a good surprise with some interesting good news mechanics.However, it gives the impression of a quick release for stand up Gears Tactics.
To me this is an incongruent vision of the series where you have snake squadmates and meaningless banter instead of worldbuilding and replayability. It’s fine as a one-off, slightly fun but buggy (hopefully non-canon) entry, but if this signifies the future of the franchise, I am worried.
After reading the reviews on here I realize that a lot of these people think being "woke" is a bad thing. There's diversity in games and that's how it should be. Not every game needs a cis, white, straight, male protagonist/playable character (sorry, not sorry boys) If I can play a white straight guy then you can play a lesbian black woman. The game is fun, but a bit too basic when compared to Xcom 2. The game should be an 8 but I gave the game a 10 to counter balance the WS in here. If you want more action and less strategy it's not a bad game to get lost in.
A good introduction to the XCOM series. For beginners, it removes operations that can make you feel bored or overwhelmed, so you can enjoy easy, fun combat with less depth.
+ Good graphics, easy combat system, fun to play.
- It gets repetitive and boring pretty fast, very simplified, you have just a few upgrade or research options, small amount of hardware
A spin-off, and a spin, on XCOM basics. XCOM 2 with a twist of mechanics which I dislike. It felt boring, all of the mini-games of the previous game, and the feeling of a worldwide campaign have been lost. Now you are some kind of special ops team in a city, chasing **** feels like a money-grabber and a way to test different stuff before the release of the next big sequel, and I hope the XCOM 3 does not follow this spin-off's guidelines. I couldn't keep playing, repetitive, strategically simple. it just does not feel like XCOM.Sorry, commander.
Infelizmente, as novidades mais limitam o game do que ajudam na diversão.
Em vez de combater uma força invasora com suas tropas, dessa vez você comanda tipo uma SWAT, Tem algumas novidades legais como a fase de entrada numa área, mas acabaram errando na mão.
Eu insisti o quanto deu, mas chegou uma hora que achei melhor abandonar mesmo.
Pontos Positivos:
+ Um pouco de frescor à série Xcom
+ Nova sequência de iniciativas individual por personagem
Pontos Negativos:
+ Apesar de interessante, o momento de entrada numa área (Breach) acaba de limitando mais, já que a maioria das fases é separada em 3 áreas, forçando essa mecânica em cada uma delas.
+ Apesar dos personagens serem interessantes, acabou super personalização que tinha nos outros.
+ Os mesmos bugs bizarros de animações, travamentos e instabilidades dos outros Xcom.
