In-between missions, you would have to research and develop new technologies from existing alien technologies and some captured prisoners, expand your operations base, manage finances, and monitor and respond to alien activity. Soldiers’ items and abilities can be gained as you survive more battles. Your soldiers carry items and are able to perform special abilities. The missions include tasks such as hunting aliens, and also objectives you need to complete in order to move on to the next phase of the game. You will take on the role of an XCOM commander and command your troops (soldiers or robotic units) in a field through a series of turn-based missions that will also test your tactical skills. You are given the task of defending the Earth against the alien forces and will control the XCOM, an elite multinational paramilitary organization.
The game is set during an alien invasion on Earth in the near future. The game is a “reimagined” remake of the 1994 strategy game UFO: Enemy Unknown, also called XCOM: UFO Defense, and it is also a reboot of the 1999 XCOM series by MicroPose. Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order," reads an official description of the game.XCOM Enemy Unknown is a turn-based strategy game developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K Games. XCOM, the planet's last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. As for Steam Deck support, the game has not been verified for the handheld, but it's playable on the system.
While not as beloved as its predecessor, which is lauded as one of the best strategy games ever made, XCOM 2 has managed to attract millions of players since launch and normally it costs $60, so to play it for $5.99 is a steal, especially when you consider the game roughly takes 30 to 80 hours, depending on your playstyle and how much you dive into all the content of the game, which itself is highly replayable. Boasting an 88 on Metacritic, it is a sequel to 2012's reboot of the series, XCOM: Enemy Unknown. For those unfamiliar, XCOM 2 debuted back on February 5, 2016, and is widely considered one of the better strategy games of the previous generation of gaming.
