XCOM 2 is free this weekend (and DLC discounts a-go-go too) By Alec Meer. 3 months ago. 24. Standard-issue XCOM 2 is probably my least-favourite of the four different flavours of XCOM now available to us (i.e. Including the Enemy Within and War Of The Chosen expansions), but that's a bit like saying I don't enjoy 29 degrees of heat quite as much as 26, 27 and 28 degrees.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is the turn-based action-strategy game developed by Firaxis Games, the same company behind the massively successful Civilization games. The game re-imagines the classic UFO: Enemy Unknown/X-COM: UFO Defense and brings its tense, tactical game play to a new generation. XCOM: Enemy Unknown took home 20 awards at E3 2012 including the Game Critics Award for Best Strategy Game and Best PC Game as well as GameSpy and IGN’s Best Strategy Game Award.^[1]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown was released on October 9th, 2012 in North America and on October 12th internationally. Pre-orders of the game received free codes for the Elite Soldier Pack DLC. A Special Edition of the game was available exclusively to the PC and contained an art book, fold-out poster of the XCOM headquarters, XCOM insignia patch, soundtrack, special art, and more.^[2]

XCOM: Enemy Unknown has received high praise from numerous critics and reviewers. On Dec 8th 2012, the game won Best PC Game at Spike's Video Game Awards.^[3] It was named 2012 Game of the Year by gaming websites GameTrailers.com, Kotaku, GameSpy and Giant Bomb.^[4] The game was named 2012 Best Strategy game by Game Informer magazine.^[5] The game received the Best Strategy Game award at the 2013 BAFTA Games Awards.^[6]

An 'Elite Edition' containing all previously-released DLC was announced as a Feral Interactive exclusive for Mac OS X on 26th February 2013^[7] and was released 25th April 2013.^[8] In June 2014, Feral Ineractive released both XCOM: Enemy Unknown and its expansion pack XCOM: Enemy Within for Linux.

An iOS version of XCOM: Enemy Unknown was announced the 24th of March 2013 during a presentation by 2K Games at PAX East 2013.^[9] The game port was overseen by Firaxis but handled by 2K China and will be playable on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. Jake Solomon revealed to IGN that the iOS version would not have paid power ups.^[10] The iOS version was released on the 19th of June 2013 at a price of $19.99.

More recently, an enhanced version has returned to all markets, with gameplay enhancements including the entirety of Enemy Within included, costing $9.99 at launch.

A version of the game titled XCOM: Enemy Unknown Plus was released for the Playstation Vita on the 22nd of March 2016, with content similar to that of the later mobile ports.^[11]

StoryEdit

Threatened by an unknown enemy, the Earth’s governments unite to form an elite paramilitary organization, known as XCOM, to combat this extraterrestrial attack. As the commander of XCOM, you control the global defense team in a battle against a terrifying alien invasion by creating a fully operational base, researching alien technologies, planning combat missions, and controlling soldier movement in battle.^[12]

GameplayEdit

XCOM: Enemy Unknown blends strategic base management with turn-based combat in unique and addictive game play.

Strategy Evolved: XCOM: Enemy Unknown couples tactical turn-based gameplay with incredible over-the-shoulder action sequences and on-the-ground combat.

Strategic Base: Recruit, customize and train unique soldiers, research new and exotic technologies, and manage your personnel as you build and expand your XCOM headquarters.

Tactical Combat: Direct soldier squads in tense turn-based ground battles. Explore maps shrouded by the 'fog of war' to discover and engage enemy forces.

Worldwide Threat: Combat spans the globe as you use the Skyranger to deploy squads to engage the enemy on over 70 unique maps, detect and intercept the alien UFOs in the skies, and interact and negotiate with governments around the world.

SoldiersEdit

XCOM's soldiers are humanity's first and last line of defense against the alien invaders and serve as the primary and most valuable combat units in XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Soldiers are initially fielded in squads of four but this number can be expanded up to a maximum of six as the game progresses. Soldiers' deaths are permanent, but those who survive long enough to graduate from the Rookie rank will gain one of the following specialized classes:

• Psionic Class (can be achieved later in the game by research)

These veterans can bring a staggering variety of deadly abilities to the battlefield as they rank up. Soldiers can be further customized through the option to change their physical appearances and names and outfitting them with the latest weapons and equipment developed by your research team.

ResearchEdit

By researching new tech, players will gain access to upgrades such as body armor and weapons, as well as gaining access to new facilities. By interrogating captured live aliens, players gain Research credits which can greatly speed up the research process.

EnemiesEdit

Players will fight a multitude of alien species including:

• Sectoid
• Floater
