XCOM®: Chimera Squad

Just play XCOM 2 War of the Chosen instead. This is an almost objectively (and definitely subjectively) worse game than 1 and 2. Subjectively I think the breach mechanics are better than wondering around in the fog of war until one of your guys get ganked by a squad of aliens, but other than that this is pretty much a dumbed down WOTC. Having unique characters could be fine, but most of them are just slightly different versions of the basic XCOM classes. That could still be fine, except they limit you to having 8 agents, meaning you will have to replay the game if you want to try out the other 3. There really isn't any excuse for that. The writing is horrific millennial slop. Basically every piece of dialogue is a one liner straight out of a marvel movie. They also only get a couple of lines each so they will be repeating themselves every few actions. Instead of having a 6 man team you can only have 4, so the encounters are less interesting. There are three enemy factions, but you can only fight one and a time and then they seem to just be gone. The bosses are very underwhelming, the one I've fought so far just had more HP than a regular enemy from that faction. There is no base expansion, so the only things you really unlock as you go are from your assembly, but so far at least everything is +1 damage to weapons or hp.

They have had 6 years after release to bug fix and optimise this game and after 7 hours in the game iv had 2 game breaking bugs, 6-8 save reverts to fix broken breach animations that freeze the game and iv just given up. The breach system felt pretty good at first but you quickly get bored of it and the maps are tiny (especially compared to xcom 2). Go play Xcom 1&2 you'll have have a far better experience.

Fun game but very different from Xcom2. The game is much smaller in scope and the art style is very different. Don't expect a Xcom3 here and you will have a good time.

The story and characters are aiming for the modern audience. The first text I read is badmouthing Bradford who doesn't want to include everyone in XCOM. Of course, one of the many strong female characters is opposing him. At each mission start, the squad is storming a room from multiple openings if available. Each soldier gets one free shot and is automatically positioned inside the room by the game. The combat now rotates individually between a soldier and an enemy. The order of character actions can be manipulated to some degree. Yes, cutting gameplay options this hard is as unfun as it sounds. Conclusion: I had low expectations and yet I was shocked how much worse it is. Well, my hope for another good XCOM game has vanished.

what a horrible excuse for an XCOM game. I wouldn't even call this fan fiction, it's terrible

Like some other (both positive and negative) reviews point out: This isn't like the other XCOM games. I personally think that's a good thing; I like that they tried something very different from the formula of XCOM and XCOM 2. Price is very fair as well.

Juvenile, cringe, and boring. An insult to the XCOM franchise.

Always be aware of the "bi-Se*ual" color palate. These people always show you who they are and what their about and on that, I'm white and straight, top tier real world spawn I know, I know. But this game is lame and diversity sucks.

Crashes frequently during enemy turns despite having a high end pc. Such a disappointment.

[h1] FBI OPEN UP! [/h1] XCOM: Chimera Squad — это тактическая стратегия, которая продолжает традиции серии XCOM, но с новыми механиками и подходом к геймплею. В этот раз мы управляем отрядом из 4 оперативников, каждый из которых обладает уникальными способностями и характеристиками. Всего в игре доступно 11 оперативников, но в кампании можно выбрать только 8 из них. Одной из ключевых особенностей Chimera Squad является новая механика, где 1 ход равняется 1 бойцу. Это означает, что каждый ваш ход — это ход одного из оперативников. Это добавляет дополнительный уровень сложности, так как вам нужно тщательно планировать каждый шаг, ведь в некоторых боях соотношение сил может достигать 1 к 4. Прохождение заняло у меня 30 часов, но они были такими же увлекательными, как и 80 часов в XCOM 2. Игра не хватает звезд с неба и является просто хорошим продолжением серии XCOM.
