The Tactical portion of the game is a fully developed reinvention of the classic XCOM gameplay. Many fun and engaging mechanics have been recoded into EXLCOM, while some of the shortcomings of previous titles have been replaced to create a better tactical experience.

One example of this is the removal of the pod activation system and it's replacement by an alertion system, where enemies communicate with each other and call in reinforcements if they spot you.
