It's risky, but more fun and a nice change of pace compared to vanilla XCOM.Įnemy Within also adds new enemies. You need to dash, use the assault class's run and gun ability, and throw caution to the wind. This forces you to mix up the old play style of slowly creeping from cover to cover, hammering on overwatch and clearing out buildings room by room. Illegal alienĪs these precious few Meld canisters self destruct after a few turns, you must rush into battle to collect them in time. Plus, the way you uncover this stuff completely alters the way XCOM is typically played. These new powers are introduced almost immediately and change battles radically. You can also use it to craft mechanised exosuits called MECs, which turn soldiers into walking tanks that can't take cover (but can provide it), and can fire flamethrowers and rail guns. Take Meld for example - a new resource that can be used to give your soldiers cybernetic implants like super pupils that improve your aim, chameleon-like skin that renders you invisible, and bionic legs that let you leap onto rooftops.
So it's still the same taut strategy game about fighting turn-based battles against aliens before returning to base to research new weapons, launch satellites, build labourites, and sort out the world's ET problem.Īnd it has the same story, same missions, same mechanics, same alien enemies, and same cutscenes we described in our 2013 review. The Iron Will option, which is strongly recommended, is purchasable from the Officer Training School and helps tremendously to boost the Will when a soldier is promoted - thus the earlier it's purchased, the better.XCOM: Enemy Within is an expansion pack for XCOM: Enemy Unknown - not a sequel or a spin-off, despite arriving as a separate, full-price app. Take note that medals can be made available once more, however, that includes having the soldier in question killed, as well as fulfilling the specific prerequisite once more the Star of Terra being the sole exception. There are 5 types of medals - each type only being available in small numbers.Īwarding a medal is a permanent action, thus the absolutely safest way is to save 1 medal of each type until attempting this.
The next step is to equip the soldier with Psi Armor, and lastly designate him or her as The Volunteer. Proceed with awarding a soldier with high will (preferably 80+) 1 medal of each kind, then test the soldier for Psi abilites. Before you attempt this, it's advisable that you save first.
