How it feels

A tense, methodical turn-based tactical game where you command a diverse squad of human and alien agents through strategic firefights.

What players say

Players are split: some like the faster breach-focused missions and lower commitment, but many say it is a downgrade from XCOM 2, with a simpler strategy layer, small maps, bugs, and a lighter tone that some find jarring.
