In Chimera Squad, the option to replace wounded squad members with androids further emphasises that an XCOM with all-fixed characters isn’t really doable – you always need someone while members of your team are otherwise incapacitated. Over the years, XCOM has always had fixed heroes, but to have an entire fixed squad feels limiting, and takes away from the impact of permadeath. What that means is that you no longer customise your own squad, instead, you’re left with fixed characters to easier allow the game to tell its story. Additionally, the new factions came with their own leaders, who had fairly interesting motivations of their own.Ĭhimera Squad now fully leans into a story-based approach. In the expansion, squad members could form bonds, leading to many fond memories of environmental storytelling for players.
The War of the Chosen expansion played into a vital aspect of XCOM, namely becoming attached to your squad.
