About

Long War of the Chosen is a port of the original Long War 2 mod by Pavonis Interactive to XCOM 2's War of the Chosen expansion. It is a complete overhaul of the vanilla game that attempts to make campaigns more engaging, longer and more challenging. Overall, you get more tools (items, abilities, soldier class types), but you have to deal with more enemies and a greater variety of enemies.
