A squad whose decisions have consequences
Turn-based missions make positioning and individual soldiers important, while a strategic layer connects the battles. Try it when you want tactical encounters to matter beyond their immediate outcome.
Before you choose: Losses and uncertain outcomes are part of the tension. It is less suitable if you want a predictable puzzle with a clean solution.
For your next game, compare turn-based squad tactics and consequential decisions.

XCOM 2 combines turn-based squad tactics with managing a resistance against alien occupation. Position soldiers on the battlefield, use cover and spend action points on movement, attacks and abilities. Develop soldiers through class skill trees and choose their equipment for missions. Between missions, direct the Avenger mobile headquarters, research technologies and decide where to send your squad. Concealment lets you plan ambushes, while wounded or fallen soldiers can change your plans for the next mission.
