The Grobo Overhaul Experience

Description
This collection builds on the foundation of using Grobo's Tactical Fun Overhaul mod to create a significantly more challenging gameplay of CHIMERA SQUAD. Similar to how Long War (of the Chosen) altered your strategic approach in XCOM (2), this mod also attempts to redefine your tactical options with a myriad of changes.

Because of the increased difficulty, I've selected additional mods to help balance the experience with things like expanded weapon/utility slots, updated character abilities, new ammo types and a few "quality-of-life" features. Everything is compatible and I have not seen any conflicting issues.

If your playthrough of CHIMERA SQUAD feels stale or too easy, give this collection a try. It may surprise you.

*** Remember to use the Alternative Mod Launcher (AML)[github.com] ***
