XCOM game keys: defend Earth one turn at a time
XCOM began in 1994 with UFO: Enemy Unknown (X-COM: UFO Defense in North America), created by Julian Gollop's Mythos Games. It combined turn-based tactical battles with a strategic layer of running a secret organisation fighting an alien invasion.
Firaxis Games revived the series with XCOM: Enemy Unknown in 2012 and XCOM 2 in 2016, where Earth has already fallen and you lead the resistance. Soldiers can die permanently, so you grow attached to your squad as they level up into snipers, rangers and psionic operatives. Expansions like Enemy Within and War of the Chosen added depth, and XCOM: Chimera Squad offered a compact spin-off.
XCOM game keys are for strategists who love tense decisions and the agony of a missed 95% shot.
