Gameplay-wise this title is very similar to its predecessor. Without delving into spoiler territory, the narrative of the game evolves into a big climax that delivers an action-packed Hollywood-like conclusion to the journey.
The storyline evolves as players discover that the aliens have special powers and that they have been experimenting on humans. The mission then becomes to discover the next steps of the alien attack by capturing a live specimen. Players are then tasked with a commanding position within the unit and are responsible for managing XCOM headquarters while developing strategies for their soldiers in the turn-based combat missions throughout the game.Īs XCOM’s missions start to succeed and more information about the aliens, their anatomy, biologies are discovered, players realize that they are just the bottom of the alien ranks and that severe problems must be heading earth’s way. The Council of Nations united to create the XCOM, a military and scientific organization with humanity’s cutting-edge technology, and weapons tasked with defending Earth against alien attacks. The game’s reception was overwhelmingly positive and seemed to please critics and fans at the time, the game was praised for its perfecting and improving its predecessor’s achievements while providing significant content added to it. However, this expansion grew so big that developer Firaxis Game and publisher 2K Games decided to release it as a standalone for PC, Playstation 3, and Xbox 360 in 2013. XCOM: Enemy Within is a rare type of game since it is an expansion of a title previously released in 2012.
