XCOM: Chimera Squad opens a new chapter in the history of the world of XCOM and turn-based combat.
After many years under the heel of the aliens, humanity won back its freedom, but the Elders, leaving the Earth, abandoned their former soldiers on it. Now, five years after the events of XCOM 2, humans and aliens are trying to get along peacefully and revive civilization.
Welcome to City-31, a bastion of well-being and prosperity in a world that has just begun to recover from the invasion. Unfortunately, not all inhabitants of the Earth approve of cooperation between intelligent races. Detachment "Chimera" — it is an assault team of humans and aliens who must work together to neutralize a hidden threat to the city.
All agents are unique: each of them has unique tactical abilities and personal reasons to fight. Use the fighters to investigate and stop sabotage threats to the neighborhoods of City-31. Lead the Chimera Squad and take him through new challenges worthy of the best turn-based games in the XCOM series: to win, you need a competent strategy, well-coordinated teamwork and clear actions during the assault.
The future of City-31 depends on you.
Unique agents among humans and aliens: each of the 11 agents has its own character and set of tactical abilities, including those inherent only to its race — for example, a viper's tongue pull.
Mixed Moves: An automatic initiative tracking system alternates between agents and opponents, opening up a wide scope for strategic planning. Now you will always know which of the enemies goes next and what are the risks for your fighters.
Specialist and Support Availability: Unleash mind-blowing combo attacks with cooperative actions available to specific fighters. The success of the mission largely depends on the choice of the right agents.
A new look at tactical battles: each task — it is a series of individual skirmishes that make the fight furious and unpredictable.
Additional level of strategy: between battles, you will manage the actions of a high-tech headquarters, prioritizing threats and sending agents on investigations and covert operations. Time is against you: the actions of enemies constantly increase the discontent of the inhabitants, destabilize neighborhoods and push City-31 towards anarchy.
Objective Assault: Take advantage of the new Assault battle phase and bring your squad into battle at the right time. Assign agents to assault and direct them to different penetration points to surprise enemies and neutralize them with an arsenal of new abilities.
