You got X-Com in my comic books!

You got comic books in my X-Com!



Even if this is simply a re-skinning of one of the X-Com games with a license, it looks like a lot of fun.

Whoa, will definitely have to check this out. The XCom games have been some of my favorite over the last decade. Probably more hours in XCom 2 than any 4 other games combined.

This game was awesome back in the day, but does it actually run well on current systems?

That looks cool. Not sure I recognize any of the female characters though.

Firaxis confirmed Iron Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Blade, Nico Minoru, Magik, Ghost Rider, and Wolverine as playable characters so far.


I'm guessing one is Nico Minoru and one is Magik, but I am not familiar with those characters.

ETA: Found myself wishing they could use Raven or Zatanna from DC.

Wait...why not use Scarlet Witch??? Seems she would fit this mold.

ETA2: Nico is from Runaways, so apparently I do know who that character is. Will be interesting to see how they handle her power.

I recognized all the confirmed playable characters. The one in the sarcophagus is called "The Hunter" and is a new character who is the only one who has ever defeated Lilith (the demon woman in the trailer, who is trying to raise Chthon).

I really really wish it would be an XCOM game with full on permadeath but that will never happen

Pretty sure they've already confirmed no permadeath unfortunately.

All of this Xcom love got me to re-install Xcom 2 last night and then I spent over two hours going through the near 7000 mods released on Steam for it (and I didn't make it through a fraction of those mods). Looks like I'll be putting 200+ hours into another Long War 2 mod campaign.

It sucks because Marvel has SO many characters...a permadeath system with random recruits is the only way you'd ever use 1/100th of them.

Hell, you could do an X-Men style X-Com game and have the main cast in there as unkillable but then have randomly generated mutants with similar skills to lesser known characters.
