XCOM 2

XCOM 2 (Xbox One) - Xbox Live Key - ROW

Product Overview

XCOM 2 is a turn-based tactical video game developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K Games. It is a direct sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2012) and XCOM: Enemy Within (2013). This product provides an Xbox Live Key for the Xbox One platform, valid in all regions (ROW).

Gameplay Mechanics

The game primarily features a two-tiered gameplay system: strategic and tactical.

• Strategic Layer: Players manage the Avenger, a mobile XCOM headquarters. This involves research and development of new technologies, construction of facilities, soldier recruitment and training, and resource management. The Avenger navigates a global map, responding to alien activities and establishing contact with resistance cells.
• Tactical Layer: Missions are played on procedurally generated maps. Players command a squad of up to six soldiers, each with unique classes, abilities, and customization options. Combat is turn-based, utilizing a cover system and an action point economy for movement and actions. Objectives vary from eliminating alien forces to rescuing civilians, sabotaging alien operations, or recovering intel.

Key Features

• Asymmetric Warfare: XCOM, now a guerrilla force, operates from the mobile Avenger against the established alien ADVENT administration.
• Procedural Generation: Maps and objectives are procedurally generated for increased replayability, offering varied tactical challenges.
• Soldier Customization: Extensive customization options for soldiers, including appearance, gear, and ability trees across multiple classes.
• Stealth and Ambush Mechanics: Many missions begin with the squad in concealment, allowing for strategic ambushes and initial positioning.
• Research and Development: Unlock new weapons, armor, and alien technology through a comprehensive research tree.
• Global Strategy: Manage resources, build facilities, and expand resistance networks across a global map while avoiding alien detection.

XCOM 2 offers a strategic challenge where player decisions on both the global and tactical scales directly impact the outcome of the campaign against an occupying alien force.
