XCOM: Chimera Squad

• ( Back to T:TDYK
• Article history )

• ... that turn-based tactical game XCOM: Chimera Squad places players in control of an elite peacekeeping force working to prevent a mixed human-alien model city from destabilizing? This is a rewording of the "Setting" section and uses those four sources.

• 16px The article is new enough (created April 14, nominated April 15) and long enough. No copyvio or close paraphrasing detected (there is one site with a 75% score on Earwig but it is evidently a case of reverse copying, as the blog post was created after the article: [1]). Article is sourced and neutral. The hook is sourced inline to reliable sources, is interesting, and short enough. However, I think it might fail one of the WP:DYKHOOK rules: Template:Tq Although the hook mentions the player, the entire appeal of the hook comes from the fictional setting. Are you able to propose another hook, perhaps based on the "Development" or "Reception" sections? Thanks, SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 21:18, 7 May 2020 (UTC)

Ah, not a problem. How about this instead Template:Ping

• ALT1 ... that the "interlaced turns" system used in XCOM: Chimera Squad was prototyped by Sid Meier using a game engine he had developed over around twenty years? Source

Template:U, looks good, just one minor issue - the source says "...that he’s slowly built over the last twenty-or-so years" while the article text says "...that he had been building for over twenty years" - the source doesn't explicitly claim that it took over twenty years. Would you mind rephrasing? Thanks, SpicyMilkBoy (talk) 00:24, 8 May 2020 (UTC)
