I'd figured previously that The Long War was focused primarily on more random numbers and more unforgiving difficulty, but what it really does is both re-introduce a number of discarded-in-translation X-COM elements and expand upon XCOM's own variety. I regret it because it is so good, which means I have been sucked into yet another full-length XCOM campaign, and the attendant consequences on both my work and personal lives. While my eye was off the ball, a beta Enemy Within version was released (with several updates since), and hearing that it got even further into the game's innards than before, I decided now was the time to investigate it despite my reservations. That it didn't work with Enemy Within, requiring instead that XCOM was manually rolled back to an earlier patch, had only put me off more.
#X COM LONG WAR MOD#
I've been keeping a remote eye on the Long War mod for a while, but to be perfectly honest I'd written it off as joyless ultra-hardcore tweaks for a very particular type of strategy gonk. A rather more Gollopy experience, one might say. Only this time, I switched things up, and have had a completely different experience. Much as it's a surprisingly natural fit for phone play, the combination of camera control issues, not being able to change the colours of my soldiers' armour and no Enemy Within expansion drew me to firing up the PC version yet again instead.
#X COM LONG WAR ANDROID#
One of the answers to that question is that the game just had a belated Android release, so I found my way to it in waiting rooms and bathroom breaks. There are so many other games I should and would like to play, yet I find myself once again knee-deep in something I by this point know every aspect of. "Why am I playing XCOM through for the sixth time?" is a question I've asked myself several times over the last week.
