6 Essential Changes In XCOM: Chimera Squad You'll Need To Learn Fast

Показать описание

In a surprise twist, Firaxis revealed the next XCOM game is not, in fact, XCOM 3. Though it's neither a direct sequel to or expansion of XCOM 2, XCOM: Chimera Squad takes place after the events of the previous games. After getting our hands on the spin-off, we've discovered that Firaxis has changed plenty about XCOM's traditional formula.

In the video above, Aaron Sampson goes over six essential tips for succeeding in Chimera Squad. As mentioned before, even if you're a long-time fan of the series, you'll have to consider different mechanics and features if you hope to succeed in Chimera Squad. There's a new breaching phase at the start of every fight, for example, and turn order has been reworked.

Chimera Squad encourages you to make additional considerations outside of combat too. As XCOM's permadeath mode doesn't make a return, managing civil unrest becomes a significantly higher priority to preventing a game over. Your squadmates can be injured as well, and you'll have to let them rest or send them off to do some physical therapy training in order to heal.

XCOM: Chimera Squad releases for PC on April 24. The game will launch on sale for $10 USD, though it will return to its original retail price of $20 USD on May 1.

I really like all the new things they're trying with this game. All of the mechanics that shine in this will surely be implemented in XCOM 3. For a spinoff game, I think they did great!

There is a sweet XCOM reference in Marvel's ANT-MAN.

The name of the security company that they start up is called "XCON" and is written in the classic, blue-neon XCOM font.

They need to put in an action replay. It wouldn't be that hard to code.. would look fantastic at the end of each mission

The breach system is straight out of Rainbow 6 Siege and I love it.

This is my first time seeing anything about this but it looks like this takes place after xcom2 and ur controlling a police force

IGN’s criticism of the breach mechanic is hilarious

you miss one. make sure to keep 4 agents for the mission. I tried to put one of my agents in training and found out you can`t do a mission with 3 agents. I had to wait 2 in-game days, you need 4 agents to engage in missions

one thing that helps a lot save your team for after some one has already acted that turn then you can recall him to act again in that turn

The turn based order reminds me so much of Tactics Ogre and it's amazing!

These tips are super useful! The new breaching mechanic I love!

I played the entire campaign with either Godmother, Blueblood, and/or Torque on the team!!

One thing I disagree with. Don't focus on androids, focus on weapon upgrades THEN armor. The first upgrade for armor is not as bad as it seems. Invest in stuff that keeps you squad as strong as possible so that you never get into a losing scenario. (also tranq rounds are REALLY good and you should get 1 or 2 ASAP)

EDIT: I forgot to mention the first armor upgrade grants an equipment slot which is REALLY strong.

This is worth the price for a $10 game and also even better than Xcom: Declassified. In my opinion anyway.

renren

Not sure that I agree that +2 health and an extra slot from an armor upgrade isn't a priority, but good advice otherwise.

Playing xcom 2 again ATM, and yeah this seems like a very different game? I did t play RB seige 6 but anything like that with breach reminds me of it. Door knockers et el. And the turn order a few games do that mechanic. Altogether doesnt seem like classic xcom but I guess it's good. I'd play.
