XCOM Legends

Mechanics

In terms of gameplay, XCOM Legends resembles other mobile RPGs. The player is tasked with creating a five-person team of heroes with different stats and skills. We gain new heroes thanks to the gacha system - we can exchange a certain type of currency, Engrams, for a random character. We improve our units by using resources found in lootboxes. Each soldier must be equipped with equipment and skills that match the rest of the team.

Skirmishes are played out in a turn-based system. The heroes have three skills at their disposal, such as gunshot or grenade throw. On the battlefields there are destructible covers, behind which we can hide our soldiers. Each unit has a specific type, which determines how it copes with enemies. For example, psionic units have an advantage in the fight against biological enemies but are not suitable for fighting cybernetic enemies.

Game modes

XCOM Legends allows the player to participate in single-player gameplay and face off against squads of other players in PvP battles.

Technical aspects

Legends graphics do not differ significantly from other mobile games of this type. A significant part of the models and character portraits have already been used previously in XCOM 2.
