About XCOM® 2

✦ AI summary

Lead a ragtag resistance from a mobile headquarters to overthrow an alien occupation of Earth through tactical turn-based combat and strategic base management. Every mission presents unique challenges across procedurally varied maps, letting you customize your soldiers and equipment to outsmart diverse enemy types through ambushes, looting, and coordinated guerrilla tactics.


XCOM 2 is the sequel to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the 2012 award-winning strategy game of the year.

Earth has changed. Twenty years have passed since world leaders offered an unconditional surrender to alien forces. XCOM, the planet’s last line of defense, was left decimated and scattered. Now, in XCOM 2, the aliens rule Earth, building shining cities that promise a brilliant future for humanity on the surface, while concealing a sinister agenda and eliminating all who dissent from their new order.

Only those who live at the edges of the world have a margin of freedom. Here, a force gathers once again to stand up for humanity. Always on the run, and facing impossible odds, the remnant XCOM forces must find a way to ignite a global resistance, and eliminate the alien threat once and for all.
  • XCOM ON THE RUN: Take command of the Avenger, an alien supply craft converted to XCOM’s mobile headquarters. New open-ended gameplay lets you decide where to guide your strike team, how to grow popular support, and when to combat enemy counter-operations.
  • RECRUIT RESISTANCE FIGHTERS: Five soldier classes, each with its own skill tree, let you create specific soldiers for your tactical plan.
  • TACTICAL GUERRILLA COMBAT: New gameplay systems offer more tactical flexibility in combat. Use concealment to ambush enemy patrols. Loot enemies for precious gear and artifacts. Rescue VIPs and save fallen comrades by carrying them to the extraction point.
  • A NEW BREED OF ENEMY: A diverse cast of enemies from powerful new alien species to the ADVENT, enforcers of the alien regime, offer a distinct tactical challenge.
  • RESEARCH, DEVELOP AND UPGRADE: Configure and build rooms on the Avenger to give XCOM new capabilities on the battlefield. Use your Scientists and Engineers to research, develop and upgrade weapons and armor to fit your preferred tactics.
  • EACH MISSION IS A UNIQUE CHALLENGE: Go on missions around the world, from wildlands to the heart of the alien-controlled megacities, to the depths of alien installations. There are virtually infinite combinations of maps, missions and goals.

Boah mir kommt da so das kotzen hoch, wenn ich ein Spiel sehe mit einer Kameraperspektive von oben.. Ich wollte hier einfach ein First Person Shooter spielen.
Recommended Sep 8, 2026
I've ran 5 seperate campaigns on this game. 3 of them to the end. Just now I finished the 3rd full run on a higher difficulty (and it was the first time without war of the chosen DLC) Just buy it dude. Don't even wait for a special. If you have ever enjoyed any strat game ever or tactical shooter, this is the defacto big boi. Hell even if you only liked sims I'd recommend this. I get there are a few more modern entries in the genre but this one and it's predecesor (XCOM) both set a benchmark that has stood a test of time. It's like skyrim. Every now and then you'll find yourself standing in the hallway yearning to install it and launch a new campaign. Just honestly its a great game. Without the DLC it's actually perfectly tuned. With the chosen DLC it can feel a bit "much" as there is a lot going on, but even then the DLC adds a ton of further atmosphere and intrigue to the world and campaign. In the end I missed the additions of the DLC as it tends to add a layer of difficulty which I needed once I hit lategame with two fully kitted out teams and a fistfull of psi operatives. So for new kids I'd recomend doing a non-DLC campaign first, and once you've done that …

Just finished the game on veteran and man. I can't believe I waited this long to play this game. It was so much fun. Might try a Modded run with long war. As Vanilla though it was great.
