About the game
In a future where aliens have taken over Earth, you lead the resistance force XCOM to strike back. You carry out missions in turn-based combat that weighs cover and hit chances, and grow your squad at your base through research and equipment development. Soldiers who fall don't come back, so every move feels weighty.
Why we recommend it
The tension created by probability and risk management is incredible, making it one of the defining turn-based tactics games.
Good for — Great for: anyone who wants to enjoy tense squad tactics together with base management
