XCOM: Rise And Fall? (Hooked Gamers)

While it saddens me to see another classic game turn into yet another FPS I never really heard of X-COM until the remake was announced. It sounded like one of their original plans to make the gameplay similar to Valkyria Chronicles would have made everyone happy, but they decided to scrap that and go with an altered approach.

The new gameplay sounds more like BIA:Hell's Highway, but maybe the new XCOM will actually turn out to be okay, that is if it ever gets released.

From the *new* Xcom franchise. The original was developed by Julian Gollop and Mythos games. He is currently in charge of Snapshot games and his latest take on Xcom was Phoenix Point.

I'm all for more tactics games. played Phoenix Point on Game Pass (ended up purchasing it), it's good...but doesn't have that same XCOM 2 feeling. Would love to see what these guys have to offer
