Of course, the battle on the field is just one aspect of management that players will face. The base management has gone through an overhaul as well, and Firaxis has done well to get rid of the UFO hunting minigame that felt out of place and awkward in the first title. The game puts a much higher importance on individual scientists and engineers, which makes rescuing them in optional timed missions an important judgement call for players. One rescued, the scientists provide research bonuses so players can unlock gear faster, and engineers can be placed in varying rooms to provide a wide aspect of bonuses, from increasing the resistance's communication network to helping troops recover from wounds fas
However, upon release, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle ended up making most fans eat their words. The gameplay present in this title is engrossing in every sense of the word, and the inclusion of familiar faces from the Mario Universe is surprisingly seamless and quite refreshing as w
The world map also gets a facelift, and players will now find themselves flying their mobile base to different destinations. Everything takes time in XCOM 2 , including traveling to and setting up before missions. As a result, players will need to analyze which missions are worth doing and keep a constant eye on the clock. This is true in more than a sense of foreboding, as the game suggests that if a certain doomsday clock reaches zero, it's game over for XC
The base XCOM SLG Console Games are a blast, full of deep tactical gameplay and a decent amount of customization. Gamers have expanded even further on the game through mods over the years. Some are basic UI tweaks or simple gameplay adjustments; others are major overhauls that could be considered spin-offs all on their own. Here is a collection of some of the most essential mods to make any further War of the Chosen playthroughs feel fresh and
The Disgaea series has been a stalwart strategy JRPG series for quite some time, and Disgaea 5 pushes the franchise to new heights with massive quality-0f-life changes, along with the tightening of gameplay mechanics to allow for some truly nail-biting combat scenarios ind
Hideo Kojima's most recent title is expectedly narrative-heavy. All the same, there are a ton of things to do outside the main story. Once you set up a nice infrastructure in the open world, it is joyful and relaxing to do deliveries between outposts utilizing all the structures. It feels like reaping the reward for hours of hard work. It is also great to do while listening to a podcast or mu
Some XCOM players swear that the percentage chance they have to hit a target is factually incorrect . Incredibly unlucky players have expressed that they miss 100% shots even though they should always land while players have sworn that an 85% chance to hit almost always la
Creating badass alien destroyers is a major part of the fun of the X-COM series. The customization option present in the vanilla version of the game is nice, but it lacks a lot of depth — even with the free DLC they released a while ago — leading to a lot of similar-looking grunts. User Stenchfury, though, really kicks the customization up a notch with his modular helmets and arm
Much of the fun of tactical RPGs comes from the player's ability to figure out their own strategies to use in combat. In addition to figuring out one's own strategies, allowing the player to customize their characters to some extent allows a player to further play into the strategies they prefer using while making these characters feel much more personalized. Whether through the use of a class system, abilities, or varied equipment, we hope Triangle Strategy allows players to customize the characters at their dispo
The Nintendo Switch is home to some truly amazing JRPGs, and one need only look at the latest addition to its lineup to understand why this is the case. By all accounts, Project Triangle Strategy looks absolutely brilliant and worth any person's time who loves the 2.5D art style that has come up recently and wants to see more games in the same vein. Of course, the fact that this is a strategy JRPG is bound to entice some people as w
Few companies have mastered the art of making turn-based strategy games quite like Firaxis . The studio's work with Sid Meier's Civilization and XCOM have resulted in some incredible experiences in both franchises. What's interesting is how Firaxis were able to reboot MicroProse's XCOM franchise without sacrificing much of the depth the older titles
From the single trailer shown, the game appears to be putting an emphasis on player choice, but the game's development is still quite underway, and Triangle Strategy is currently a working title. As the game is currently slated for a 2022 release, they're plenty of time to speculate on what the game can have in store for play
While some sidequests could only be available to players who made certain choices, the completion of other sidequests could potentially provide additional context to a problem at hand, giving the player insight into how making a given choice may impact the p
