XCOM 2 is the sequel to the 2012 Game of the Year, award-winning strategy
game, XCOM: Enemy Unknown.
Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an
unconditional surrender to alien forces and XCOM, the planet’s last line of
defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now the aliens rule Earth, building
shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface,
while concealing a sinister agenda below 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, the
remnant XCOM forces must find a way to rise from the ashes, expose the insidious
truth behind the occupation, and eliminate the alien threat once and
for all.
Features:
- XCOM ON THE RUN: Take command of the Avenger, an alien supply craft
converted to XCOM’s mobile headquarters. Guide your strike force around the
world, build popular support and expose the aliens’ sinister plans.
- RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS: Five soldier classes, each with its own skill
tree including new class abilities like Momentum, let you create specific
soldiers for your tactical plan.
- TACTICAL GUERRILLA COMBAT: New gameplay systems offer more tactical
flexibility in combat. The state of the world affects each combat
mission’s environment. 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.
- ENGAGE IN HEAD-TO-HEAD MULTIPLAYER: Mix-and-match squads of humans and
aliens and battle head-to-head on randomly-generated maps.
