The aliens have also received a much-needed difficulty adjustment. Long war not only adds a huge amount of hours to the game, but also gives the player vast amounts of choice, with new weapons, armor and even new research options. However, a genius group of modders have released a mod titled Long War. The only thing XCOM was missing after Enemy Within was, well, more XCOM.

This incredible expansion pack (not DLC), adds many cool new additions to the original game, such as mech troopers, or genetically enhanced super soldiers, along with a new campaign and a new enemy to face. Fast forward a few and XCOM Enemy Within is released.

The original game placed you as the commander, the one in charge of organizing earth’s final defense against the alien invaders.
