Story & Themes
Xenoblade Chronicles X takes place on the planet Mira, the new home for the remaining stragglers of humanity. A previous alien attack on Earth had forced the humans to evacuate in giant spaceships, but the ship carrying residents of Los Angeles was targeted by an alien race known as the Ghost and forced to crash land on Mira. The player character is a member of the military organization called BLADE which is responsible for protecting the settlers of New LA against hostile aliens and the harsh environment as well as working with the friendlier of the native alien races.
Difficulty
Combat can be complex and challenging, especially for newcomers to the series. Some time and patience will probably be needed to master the system.

Strong Language Some occasional swearing, including words like "sh*t" and "damn."
Substance Use The player character and others are depicted drinking alcohol and growing intoxicated.
Online Community
Players can team up with others online, but the game lacks both text and voice support.
