XCOM: Long War

XCOM: Long War is a custom modification that expands the scope of the original tactical turn-based strategy in a sci-fi setting. The mod will best fit into the collection of XCOM fans and those who found Enemy Within too short. The soldiers are tired from long operations. Rocketeers hit large targets. Trophies from the battlefield go to laboratories. The modification expands the boundaries of the story campaign and introduces several important innovations. The following classes of fighters have appeared in the game: infantry, attack aircraft, sniper, scout, machine gunner, rocketeer, medic and engineer. Mechs got their own classes, and there are eight of them. Engineering drones hack equipment. Snipers occupy high positions. Armor reduces plasma damage. Along with classes, new perks, weapons and equipment are added. All together gives wide space for tactical maneuvers. The research tree is not spared: it can easily take dozens of hours to study. Panic breaks the formation even among veterans. Repair of the base lasts for weeks. Grenades clear station corridors. The base expands as the budget grows. The balance has been changed to increase the difficulty for true fans of the series who were missing the thrill. Alien artificial intelligence has been improved: enemies adapt better on the battlefield and are able to change tactics right during the battle. Medics save the wounded on the field. Satellites monitor alien activity. Scientists research other people's technologies. The wreckage of downed ships brings materials. This game is suitable for anyone who is ready for a long war against aliens.
