Hey freedom fighters, welcome to the interest check for X-Com: Last Days of War, a High Casual RP based (unsurprisingly) in the world of Firaxis's X-Com 2. It'll be a small-to-medium group RP, probably around 6 or 7 people, in which player characters will be the soldiers of one of the rebel organization X-Com's guerilla squads fighting against the ADVENT regime of alien invaders that controls the planet. It is not, I repeat, not necessary to have played X-Com to join, understand, or enjoy this RP - the setting is not at all complicated and will be explained in detail in the OOC post, and you can expect the story to go in different directions than the story of the game. Expect a grim story of life on the run, fighting a losing war against impossible odds, forging friendships in the heat of conflict and finding hope even in the darkest times. You can also expect a good amount of action-packed gunfights with a myriad of alien monstrosities, some mysteries to solve, no small amount of black comedy and ample time for character interaction and growth.

So, what do you say? Ready to set the world free or die trying?

I have many hundreds of hours in the X-COM franchise. If this gets off the ground, consider me signed up.

Hundreds, how did you survive that? I have over 500 on the Dark Souls series compared to 150 hours on XCOM 2. Never raged so much at DS as in XCOM.

If you get past a 100 hours in XCOM and you start to play the game with serious mods (Long War for example) and serious gameplay knowledge (ex: activation ranges in the first game, ambush exploits in the second), the game becomes really fun. Sure, it makes it super tryhard every minute along the way, but then you can REALLY feel like saving Earth. I finished both games, with both DLCs, each with and without Long War (8 runs in total), plus a few Impossible Ironman runs in the first game. I still have PTSD after those goddamn Meld canisters... but hey, neither of them are as hard as playing Xenonauts on Veteran mode!

Might be interested. More of an XCOM 1 fan, but still good for an RP.
