Yes, it runs a bit sluggishly when compared to the PC version and the textures do look a bit sluggish at times, but the superb XCOM 2 is not one of those games you want hasn't been ported to. The only thing I can recommend is beginning the game and ignoring the Alien hunter mission that triggers rules until later.Firaxis hasn't decided to include it here because a game like XCOM is a natural marriage for touch support, an advantage over Nintendo's little machine that could have a big advantage over its competitors, so it's a shame that Firaxis hasn't chosen to include it here. I had the ruler alone more than half of my squad including my highest ranking units two times now and there is no end to it. If it seems like I am venting my anger here. And if that wasn't ridiculous enough, they also flee when damaged enough/enough time passed to appear randomly in other missions. on the second easiest setting) Which is as absurd as it sounds considering they kill your soldiers in 1-3 attacks. all while having absurd armor + health (the third one eg.

#Xcom 2 patch notes alien hunter pro#
If you're already an Xcom pro and want to spice things up a bit, this might be worth it, but if you're new to Xcom then it's likely to just be a huge headache. On the positive side, you do get a few new weapons that are pretty fun, and if you manage to defeat the bosses you unlock some awesome unique armors that will surely come in handy.
The bosses can easily take down an entire squad, so if you run into one on the way to escape or while already engaged with enemies, it can quickly ruin your chances of success.
