The comparison is most useful at the system level. Warhounds is not XCOM 3: it has its own 2035 East Africa setting, contracts and a less polished launch interface.

What is verified

  • Both reward cover, flanking and roster preservation.
  • Warhounds does not lock every turn into a simple move-then-shoot pair.
  • Missed bullets continue through the scene and may hit other objects.
