The original XCOM is a brutal game that hits gamers with permadeath penalties and incredibly rough moral and administrative decisions. Build a base, develop new tech, and lead your soldiers in the field in order to squeak through an attack that will likely mean humanity’s total extinction. XCOM: Enemy Within puts gamers in the nearly God’s-eye-view role of a commander trying to wrangle world leaders, scrap together funds, and fend off an alien invasion against which you are hopelessly outmatched.
Since there’s no other game like XCOM on the market, sating your desire for some turn-based action between now and then means one thing: revisiting the original. For those of us without PC gaming money, it’ll be a long, alien-free wait from now until September 9th. In a rare reversal of fortune, though, console gamers have been left high and dry until later this year. The sequel to 2012’s acclaimed series reboot, XCOM 2 may have entered a more challenging market, but it’s been thrilling lucky PC players for several months. On September 9th, Xbox One and PS4 players will finally get the chance to play XCOM 2, one of the current generation’s most exciting titles.
