While Meld offers great rewards, it also counter-balances the conservative game play that many adopt while playing XCOM. Of course, by sending troops out in a hurry, you might attract more aliens or split your squad. This means that players will have to take risks in order to send someone to go get it. However, Meld canisters self-destruct after a set number of turns, or can be destroyed by enemy fire if you take cover behind the canister. As in previous XCOM games, you steal the alien technology and make it your own – in this one, it goes to the next level as you can use alien DNA to modify your troops. Meld is used to upgrade your units and technology. Meld comes in canisters and adds active resource recovery to the game. XCOM: Enemy Within sees an all new resource added to the game: Meld. Beyond adding maps, here are some of the cool additions to the game. Enemy Within in an expansion in the traditional Friaxis approach – it adds new elements to the existing game, so if you’ve never played Enemy Unknown it will still feel like one coherent game, while for those who have played the new XCOM, it will add new features and experiences. I chatted to Garth DeAngelis (Producer) and Ananda Gupta (Lead Designer) from Firaxis and got a bunch of details for you. In fact, Firaxis is launching an expansion to Enemy Unknown titled Enemy Within – and it sounds bigger and better than ever! After years of silence about XCOM, it has certainly made a come back.
