Everyone entering through the door might get a bonus to their aimed shot, while everyone barreling in through the window might risk taking damage but stun nearby enemies. What’s great is each entrance has advantages and drawbacks, and those also hook into your team synergies. Most begin with a Breach phase where your team kicks in a door, smashes through a window or otherwise makes an entrance. Since the Squad is now The Cops, missions also proceed like police raids rather than military operations.
#Xcom chimera squad how to#
Rather than building and customizing your own force, Chimera Squad gives you a handful of troops with abilities that interlock and play well together, then leaves it to you to figure out how to use them. You may use your snake lady to drag an enemy close, then use your alien dude to clobber them for interrogation later. You may use your mind controller to stun an enemy while your lady-with-a-shotgun blasts them. The core tactical gameplay is still the same but diversified. Chimera Squad works them in as part of the group, so not only do you have machine guns and sniper rifles, you have mind control and psychic powers. XCOM tended to be about stealing alien technology and abilities. Since this is now a multi…cultural? Alienal? Society, your squad is a range of nationalities and…alien types? Don’t call me out on Twitter and ruin my posting cred, I don’t know the proper word for a diverse group of aliens. Not everyone wants to keep it that way, so there’s terrorist organizations, crimes, assassinations, and plots. The battlefield this time around isn’t the entire world or a continent, it’s a city where aliens, humans, hybrids, and snake-bangers live in peace.
You’re who the local cops call in when things go awry or they need more resources. And that’s okay!Ĭhimera Squad turns the XCOM force into, basically, the FBI. And some dudes just want to bang sexy snake ladies in peace. Some aliens and alien-human hybrids stayed behind. Storywise, the setup is that humanity won and drove out the aliens at the end of XCOM 2. You can do well in an hour or two and feel accomplished, rather than getting an hour into an intense city battle and then having your entire squad wiped out. You only have a handful of troops to manage, the battles are over relatively quickly, and there’s less micromanagement overall. XCOM Chimera Squad is XCOM but manageable. What if you could have XCOM…but maybe a little less of it? If you have a job, kids, or a worldwide pandemic outside, it can be tough to muster up enthusiasm for spending 4 hours each night grinding your troops across a city block. The downside: That’s kind of a lot to deal with.
#Xcom chimera squad mods#
True masochists like me will add mods like The Long War, where everything is even more intense and there’s even more fighting and micromanagement. The combat system is tremendous, turn-based, where your squad inches across the maps wiping out alien scum left and right.

Both the original series and the revival are all about saving the world from an alien menace while balancing your troops, budget, and facilities. XCOM is one of the great strategy game franchises.
