XCOM 2 is the sequel to
XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year.
Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered
an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet’s last line
of defense, was left decimated and scattered. 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.
Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom.
Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the
run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a
way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once
and for all.
- XCOM ON THE RUN: Take command of
the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to XCOM’s mobile
headquarters. New open-ended gameplay lets you decide where to guide
your strike team, how to grow popular support, and when to combat enemy
counter-operations.
- RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS: Five soldier classes, each with its own skill tree, let you create specific soldiers for your tactical plan.
- TACTICAL GUERRILLA COMBAT: New gameplay
systems offer more tactical flexibility in combat. Use concealment to
ambush enemy patrols. Loot enemies for precious gear and artifacts.
Rescue VIPs and save fallen comrades by carrying them to the extraction
point.
- A NEW BREED OF ENEMY: A diverse cast of
enemies from powerful new alien species to the ADVENT, enforcers of the
alien regime, offer a distinct tactical challenge.
- RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND UPGRADE: Configure and
build rooms on the Avenger to give XCOM new capabilities on the
battlefield. Use your Scientists and Engineers to research, develop and
upgrade weapons and armor to fit your preferred tactics.
- EACH MISSION IS A UNIQUE CHALLENGE: Go on
missions around the world, from wildlands to the heart of the
alien-controlled megacities, to the depths of alien installations. There
are virtually infinite combinations of maps, missions and goals.
- CREATE CUSTOM MODS: Community-focused tools
allow you to create your own campaign, tactical gameplay, aliens,
classes, strategy game features, and share within the Steam Workshop.
