## About XCOM®: Chimera Squad

XCOM: Chimera Squad is a 2020 strategy game by Firaxis Games. It features turn-based tactical combat with a twist: instead of recruiting soldiers, players command a fixed roster of pre-made agents who have distinct abilities. The initiative-based turn-order system means crowd-control and timeline manipulation become as important as raw damage output. Players highlight how the hybrid alien-human squad dynamic creates fresh character dynamics within the police-themed post-war narrative. Reviewers note the tight urban arenas force smart positioning, and describe the missions as short and replayable with high tension. Players describe the overall experience as atmospheric and stressful. Currently priced at $2.99, the game is playable on Steam Deck and holds a 74% positive rating from over 12,000 Steam reviews.
