Ignite a global resistance and reclaim Earth from alien occupation in XCOM 2 on Nintendo Switch™
The XCOM® 2 Collection includes the award-winning strategy game XCOM 2, four DLC packs (Resistance Warrior Pack, Anarchy’s Children, Alien Hunters, Shen’s Last Gift) and the War of the Chosen expansion all in one package. Activate any of the additional content (DLCs and the Expansion) or just play the base game.

XCOM® 2:
Aliens rule Earth, promising a brilliant future for mankind while secretly hiding a sinister agenda. As the leader of a guerrilla force facing impossible odds, you must ignite a global resistance to eliminate the alien threat and save the hum race from extinction.

XCOM® 2: War of the Chosen:
This expansion adds extensive new content in the fight against ADVENT including new Hero classes, powerful new enemies, as well as new missions, environments and increased depth in strategic gameplay.

FOUR DLC PACKS:
• Resistance Warrior Pack: Customize your squad of resistance fighters with a set of bonus outfits and head gear, as well as custom armor and face camo.

Additional cosmetic upgrades to soldiers and the Avenger are included, as well as a new epic mission where Central Officer Bradford leads a squad with the guidance of an old friend.

    How does this run on Switch? iirc it struggled on PS4

      I don't have it, but some reviews mention long loading times and low frames.

    • binary101 on 11/02/2022 - 08:21

      It runs ok, there are occasional stutters and frame drops, and yes load times can up to 1-2 mins. Also the graphics would be like a low PC graphic setting.

        Agreed with all of this. My experience was surprisingly playable.

          Thanks all.

          Got some long flights coming up so looking for some games to get on the Switch which I haven't used for a couple of years.
          Played through XCOM2 probably about 5 years ago on PC so figure a replay could be in order.

          • Hiddenmovement on 11/02/2022 - 12:38

            @Peekay: As someone with a ridiculous amount of time in this game, the Long War mod without the war of chosen dlc is the primo game mode. Strongly recommend you play it on easy though.

          • JPMelb on 12/02/2022 - 10:47

            @Peekay: Try into the breach. It is turn based rogue like. One of my favourite flight games.

      I didn't find the performance particularly bad on PS4. And in any case, being turn based means the odd stutter here and there is less annoying than it would be in a lot of other games.

      The game itself I found really disappointing, though… I thought the previous one was much better.

    the Mario Rabbits game is meant to be an excellent xcom clone that does run well if anyone is looking for this style of game. Haven't played 2 but 1 was great, at this price it seems worth the risk.

    • theknight27 on 11/02/2022 - 18:04

      I've played through both (XCOM2 on the PC though), really enjoyed both - they'd be my top 2 favourite turn-based tactics.

      They play very differently though, XCOM2 has a lot more depth (obviously) whereas Mario I found was about experimenting with different builds and team compositions.

      I'd look up a performance review for this and decide if it's playable for you - it's a steal if it is.

    XCOM 2 is one of my all time favourites (I liked 1 as well). War of the Chosen is almost like a whole new game too. I've already sunk 100s of hours in on the PC but at this price I'm going to pick it up just for the portability.

  • Jonzay on 11/02/2022 - 08:52

    The major downside with the console version is the lack of mods. The mods range everywhere from new enemy units, soldier classes, appearance customisation options, playable aliens, rooms, abilities, research, revamped AI (this is a huge factor as it lets you eliminate a significant number of the AI flaws that allow "cheese strategies") and even massive changes to the strategy layer.

    But the switch (and mobile version) is portable, so I'll give it that.

  • Dave Bowman on 11/02/2022 - 08:56

    I have it on PS4. Awesome game (apart from the lag). Have been wanting to replay again so wondering if I should pick this up.

    They should port over the old X-COM: UFO Defense as well.

  • bchliu on 11/02/2022 - 09:41

    Got to be kidding for those who'd pay the RRP $90 for such an old game..

    • Porker on 11/02/2022 - 09:44

      Nintendo pricing

    • awaiko on 11/02/2022 - 09:55

      XCOM2 is normally $89.95 on Steam, and War of the Chosen is $54.95. I'm not defending the prices, but it's about the same on PC unfortunately.

      Though, the base game is $5.40 at the moment, and War of the Chosen is $13.73 on the current Steam sales.

      • kungfuman on 11/02/2022 - 10:13

        I love it how they try to match the same pricing as a PC on switch lol it has not where near the same graphic ablities as a PC on a switch they should be charging atleast half 89 bucks RRP for it for consoles.its like charging a pc price on a mobile game.

        • Jonzay on 11/02/2022 - 13:19

          You should check out how much XCOM2 is on Android then

    great game an olddy for the price its very good. I have Xcom 1 on the ps vita it was a digital only game and even that was 30 bucks lol so 9 bucks for Xcom 2 for it on switch is a steal

  • dogboy on 11/02/2022 - 10:27

    Good game but the pre-calculation of rolls is a bit frustrating although it can be leveraged to win scenarios.

  • helloeatty on 11/02/2022 - 12:42

    I have invested 100hours on the switch version and never encountered the frozen screen which is often occurred in the PS4.

    And I paid the full price to get physical copy in the US amazon when it released two years ago

    Definitely worthy

  • Wimma on 11/02/2022 - 13:24

    Awesome, thanks, been waiting for a sale on this for ages.
    Primary reason I justified a switch - portable x-com!

  • Kjlay on 11/02/2022 - 20:38

    I have the steam version, is this pretty much a direct port? Wondering if it’s worth buying a portable version of the game.

    • helloeatty on 12/02/2022 - 13:30

      with this price, you would never go wrong

  • John Kimble on 02/03/2022 - 19:28

    Been playing this for a week and the loading times are frustratingly slow…been blaming that on why I'm playing so long when my wife asks why I'm playing so long…it's partly true.

    It's a good game though.
