The Bureau: XCOM Declassified ‘Call The Shots’ Gameplay Trailer shows the Battle Focus Ability

2K Games has released a new gameplay trailer for their upcoming third-person tactical shooter The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. The trailer below demonstrates the Battle Focus ability and shows how one can win the engagements without firing a single bullet. The Battle Focus ability will allow players to stop the time asses the battlefield and then issue commands to their squad mates accordingly. The gameplay mechanics are much like XCOM Enemy Unknown. The shield UI which tells you when you’re in cover, is similar to the one that has been used in turn-based XCOM. However its all in third-person perspective that is the difference between the two games.

In the game each squad that you select has its own ability. In the trailer we get to see one is an engineer who can deploy turrets and mines while the commandos has force push ability which knock enemies back. And as a squad leader, you also have special abilities like levitating objects in the air.
