Yes, you should be on youtube and Co watch the match in advance is essential, where there is now video over the entire playthrough. I bought the game used here for 9.99 EUR and am satisfied from the price / performance ratio. But now to the game.
The Bureau XCOM differs from its predecessors but a little from the classic to be a base is expanding, fighting, researching and developing new technologies is no longer here. With this part we try to explain the beginning of XCOM and the Alien invasions and there is also the focus of the game. You play the character of Carter in a third person view and can maneuver through this a quite linear plot. So it is telling a story, one here and there feels like a book by it applies to all information that could explain the zusammeln act more precisely. Therefore, it is probably not unusual that elements such as the expansion of the basis of the tactical deployment of personnel and operations EHR slips or missing in the background.
In the game, the strategy is pretty much one and the two pioneers set same, one hides behind the first line with 2 snipers or in the course with their skills mines and artillery up everything mow down whatever attempts only partially in the near one to come.
This all sounds to some action and an attempt of does not want to really succeed. That depends on your own expectations, I made felt the skill system interesting, send the possibility its agents on so-called "transport missions", and the possibility in the base finally being able to move as very pleasant. The story is told and follow lifts the gameplay. Me then bothered but the troops selection, so you can take only 2 agents and is consistent with its own character so to 3 on the battlefield, the fights are so constructed that one rarely easy can only mitkämpfen, as a rule, is given to using his skills, monitors KI and assigns you your tasks .... so is it the commander on the battlefield, and now and then if you can not help his people in turmoil because you're frustrated involved in the coordination.
Why so many stars? I have not a typical XCOM Game expected and was pleased with the appearance of the 60's years look, the environment, history and the game go it alone by its layout, the fun. One star deduction there was a result of the trial of a choice at the end of the game alla Heavy Rain, either runs something through the whole game, or you can figure it out completely.
For fans of history XCOM definitely a must for fans of tactical / strategic simulation of XCOM series it is difficult to find a pleasure in it.
