After years of battle against the alien forces from the shadow, XCOM masters the skilled called “Overwatch” - a way of setting traps to the aliens that requires cunning, timing, and planning expertise. With this skill, XCOM can fight head-on against the aliens in stealth and ambush missions more efficiently than before while waiting for the return of their commander for a full-throttle war!
