Unlike Sharpshooters, they can unload their entire magazine at once if one bullet doesn't cut it. Banish allows Reapers to unload their entire magazine into a single target, with that single target restriction removed with an upgrade later on. With an extended mag modification, Reapers can take down the toughest enemies in XCOM with a single action, making them incredible for harder late-game cont   Aliens spend all of XCOM 2 trying to take down your resistance operation while exploiting the planet they've taken over. It is your job to take your overlords out and reclaim the planet as your own ag   However, upon release, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle ended up making most fans eat their words. The gameplay present in this title is engrossing in every sense of the word, and the inclusion of familiar faces from the Mario Universe is surprisingly seamless and quite refreshing as w   A reveal trailer was shown in 2010 to mixed reception. Fans thought the game was not true to the XCOM name with aliens being black blobs of goo instead of classical extraterrestrials. With the game's development in trouble, 2K Marin oversaw the development and overhauled the game to The Bureau that XCOM fans know today. If it wasn't for this redesign, the game would likely never have relea   XCOM 2 's cover has a far more minimalist design than the other entries on this list. The game's cover is extremely sinister, with the alien's face being made up purely of human skulls, letting players know straight away that this isn't going to be a wholesome Bandicoot -like adventure. Moreover, the morbid aesthetics and fact that the alien is looking straight at the viewer could be seen as an implication of the SLG game news's punishing difficul   However, the next ten years may see the direction change once again, as cover art is regaining importance thanks to the prominent rise of Game Pass and other subscription services. With EA Play included, Game Pass now has over 200 games available to players, giving cover art newfound importance as games need to find ways to stand out from the cr   The game's cover art is a reference to a classic religious artwork with the depiction of a sacred heart in the middle of the chest; the heart has been replaced by a grenade in Borderlands 3 's cover, possibly a reference to the "Holy Hand Grenade" from Monty Python and the Holy Gr   This game, as it says in the beginning of the demo, is not messing around. Like Square Enix’s Bravely Default II demos, they too were cranked up in difficulty in the hopes of showing off the battle system at its fullest. It would seem then that based on the intro dialogue to this game, difficulty settings will be implanted in the final product. It’s sadly not a given though as many games still don’t offer these options for myriad reasons like Dark So   One of the first skills Templars can obtain is Parry. This simple ability allows you to mitigate the next hit you take instead of moving for your action. The damage of the hit does not matter, only able to be countered by the Hunter's tracking shot. If an enemy shoots at you and the hit would be lethal, Parry will instead mitigate the entire hit and deal nothing. It is incredible when your Templar is in a bad position and no cover is nea   Rebooting a beloved turn-based strategy franchise is no small feat. Firaxis did a fantastic job streamlining the original UFO Defense with XCOM: Enemy Unknown without compromising on moment-to-moment strategy. It took almost the entire development cycle to get here, howe   Even without his involvement during development, Sid Meier is a possible hero character in XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2 who can be generated by changing a solider's name to "Sid Meier" with no nickn   There is no function to skip conversations entirely though which is a feature that usually is in games. One may want to skip scenes for myriad of reasons like playing the same story twice, or someone more interested in the RPG gameplay rather than the st   Thanks to their shotguns and melee weapons, Rangers do best when in the middle of the action. Run and Gun allows them to dash, moving twice as far as normal which normally costs two actions. This can be great for flanking an enemy or catching a retreating enemy to finish the   An Ōkami cover art featuring on this list is fairly ironic, as the franchise is known for having one of the biggest box art botches of all time. When the Nintendo Wii version of the game was released, eagle-eyed fans noticed that a barely visible IGN logo was included due to the artwork being taken from the si   Insane enemies will run around the battlefield and panic, preventing them from developing strategies to take you down. They can fire at their own allies, duck into cover and cower in fear, or even become mind-controlled for a few turns. Thanks to its large area, Void Rift remains one of the best crowd control and damage abilities in XC
