It was simple, but it made sure the game was always about interesting choices. The key innovation of XCOM compared to other tactical games, whether Japanese or Western, was simplifying this, breaking each character’s turn into two actions, instead of dozens of action points. Straightforward-but-complex combat: In tactical combat games, character movement through space is the most important consideration, and character skill in more important than player skill (that is, you win by playing smart, not by clicking more or aiming faster). Mess up one of these, and you’re doomed, now matter how smart you play the other.
Combination of strategy and tactics: XCOM is divided in half, with some time spent managing the alien invasion of the entire planet, and the rest in the individual battles.
