New equipment, gene-mod upgrades, and the ability to ‘Robocop’ your troops into MECs create vastly superior scope for specialisation, but tiny additions like flashbang grenades and special ammo designed for close-range combat add options to the earliest stages of the game. Edge forward slowly using overwatch for protection, and you’ll fail to collect MELD canisters before they expire, limiting your capacity to upgrade troops with the new features you’ll need to survive.Ĥ7 new maps and tweaks to alien AI and grouping make ground missions far less predictable, but it’s this scope for detailed customisation that makes the expansion truly amazing. Keep your snipers alone at the back of the map, and invisible squid robots will strangle them to death. Firaxis isn’t happy to let that slide.Įnemy Within knows how you play XCOM, and it isn’t going to let you do that anymore. As players we learned how to beat the system.
Enemy Unknown’s replay value expired when the game became a solvable puzzle – a set of clear challenges with an optimal route. Instead of resenting the difficulty, you’d secretly treasure the stories of these failures – latching on to the moment where your best soldier died, or the horror of being sadly informed that Asia was under alien control. Enemy Unknown’s replay value wasn’t evident until you started playing Iron Man, a mode which would cruelly wipe you out and force you to start a new game because of it.
