Ramps up the difficulty considerably. If you are not yet fully familiar with the base game, you may want to hold off until you do. You should at least be able to beat "Normal" difficulty 90% of the time, and "Hard" difficulty 50% of the time. For veterans, a must have.

As far as I’ve seen after playing only one game, Evolution drastically changes the way Xcom used to play: it’s a different game now, with different threats and priorities; hence, it requires a different attitude and approach to the game. So far we’re enjoying it. Rating upon trust.

Adds some really interesting new elements to the game without bogging things down in a lot of new rules. Some interesting new tech, MEC troopers are a welcome addition, and the Exalt and threat cards keep things tense. Very nice addition.
