XCOM 2: War of the Chosen (DLC)

Expansion to the 2016 award-winning strategy game of the year.

War of the Chosen is an downloadable content to XCOM 2 game made by Firaxis and Feral Interactive, and published by 2K. War of the Chosen adds extensive new content in the fight against ADVENT when additional resistance factions form in order to eliminate the alien threat on Earth. In response, a new enemy, known as the “Chosen,” emerges with one goal: recapture the Commander. This expansion includes new Hero classes to counter the “Chosen”, new enemies, missions, environments and increased depth in strategic gameplay. The game also introduces three rebel factions that antagonize each other, but grant special hero classes once their allegiance is earned; the Reapers, specialized in sniping and stealth, the Templars, who developed unique psionic abilities and the Skirmishers, former ADVENT soldiers with exclusive equipment and tactics. Other new features include a revamped strategic layer and the “Bond” system, in which pairs of soldiers develop special abilities that are accessible when both are deployed during a mission, and when bonded soldiers are killed, their partners enter temporarily in a “berserk mode”, ignoring orders but with a great boost in their stats.

XCOM 2: War of the Chosen (DLC) Review

8.8 Total Score
Very Good

War of the Chosen is an incredibly compelling reason to return to XCOM 2. It contains so much new content that it could almost have been called XCOM 3. Every mission dishes out a new enemy, mission type, or environment, which allows the game to remain fresh for several dozen hours. In its new expansion, XCOM 2 makes people of its soldiers and turns its aliens into personalities. It cares about the individual. But that’s only so you feel the loss of your bonds more keenly, and hate the enemy more personally. A very complete pack recommended for all players who want to give a new run to the original campaign, in a way that looks like a surprisingly new game.

Superb
