It was almost surprising, when XCOM first encountered their new foes in the third month of the alien invasion. XCOM forces were already stretched too thin, attempting to defend multiple continents and somehow break the ring of UFOs encircling Earth and blocking our communications. One of our strike teams was on mission when they ran into another team — almost literally. The other team was human, each dressed in business clothes, with body armor strapped over snappy vests and orange-red bandannas obscuring their faces. They gunned down XCOM forces, almost to a man.
As the alien forces spread and peril increases, the sinister humans of the EXALT seek to take advantage of the chaos to infiltrate and destroy XCOM from within. Their treachery leads to new challenges, new crises, and new threats to the very resources you need to win the war. Fortunately, your team has also made some advances since the war began. The discovery of the mysterious alien substance known as Meld promises to unlock some astonishing breakthroughs in the field of biomechanics.
An expansion for XCOM: The Board Game, Evolution complicates your war effort with new missions, enemies, and invasion plans, as well as mechanics that make your struggles more dangerous than ever. And XCOM: Evolution allows you to bring formidable new weaponry to the field in the form of MEC Troopers!
