XCOM UK Playthrough

MasonicGamer.com: 2K have just released a new interactive trailer for XCOM which shows XCOM is all about strategy and the choices you make. Coming in at just over 20 mins it shows us a good chunk gameplay and for those like myself that have been playing XCOM for the last 20yrs you will see that the re-make has kept to the routes of the orignal and the changes, although subtle, are welcome addition.

what mode is this? i never seen it with choice popping up before

Robochobo4899d ago

It's not a mode, it's them putting annotations in the video your supposed to click on. You could either choose to watch them play with a mixed team or an assault team, you click on that and it zooms to your preferred choice.

If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.

Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930850d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me

It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.

Ten Best Tactical Mobile Games

There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy.
