XCOM: Chimera Squad

XCOM: Chimera Squad is a turn-based tactical game set five years after the events of XCOM 2. After humanity wins the war for Earth, the alien Overlords flee, leaving their former soldiers behind. Humans and aliens are working together to build a civilization based on cooperation and coexistence, but not everyone supports the alliance.

City 31

In the post-invasion city of City 31, an elite force called Chimera Squad confronts underground threats that are pushing the districts toward chaos. You deploy agents to investigate and fight these dangers, with the fate of the city at stake.

Agents and combat

Chimera Squad has 11 human and alien agents, each with a distinct personality, tactical abilities and motivation for joining the team. Their species-specific abilities include the Viper’s tongue pull. Specialized, complementary classes let you combine agents’ strengths and use cooperative actions to create devastating combos, making team composition important to mission success.

Missions unfold as a series of discrete, explosive encounters. In Breach Mode, you assign agents to different entry points and coordinate their assault using Breach-specific skills. An automatic initiative system places individual agents and enemies in an alternating turn order, creating tactical choices around who acts next and which unit is most at risk.

Manage the city

Between missions, you run operations from a high-tech headquarters. You prioritize competing tasks and investigations and assign agents while unrest rises across City 31’s districts, bringing the city closer to anarchy.
