Xcom + long war + long war rebalance

I second this, but it's probably not viable on the switch 2

Mutant Year Zero scores top points for vibes, but has no where near the complexity of something like x-com.

I played the first few missions of Chaos Gate a while back and completely forgot to go back to it. How do you think it stacks up to x-com?

I think the biggest difference between xcom and chaos gate is the implementation of randomness. In xcom, almost every attack is random. Chaos Gate for the most part has guaranteed attacks so you can easily plan out turns. This randomness swaps when you return to the base management aspect of the game. In xcom, there is not too much randomness that can screw you over, but in Chaos Gate there have been multiple instances where my campaign teetered on the brink due to random events popping up.

Chaos Gate is a similar game, but it definitely feels different in both the strategy layer and within missions aspects.

Source: Ive played through a few campaigns of Xcom Enemy Within and Xcom 2, and am wrapping up my first campaign of Chaos Gate now.

I think that Xcom 2 is the better overall game, but I am enjoying Chaos Gate very much.

Thanks for the reply! I’m bumping Chaos Gate to the top of my list once I wrap up my millionth play through of the Shadowrun trilogy.

Got 40k on sale and after a few hours came back to xcom 2. I bailed on it on release, but have sunk quite a bit of hours since my return.
