Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium Gameplay
Girls’ Frontline 2: Exilium is a turn-based tactics role-playing game that shares many mechanics with the XCOM franchise of games. Combat follows a simulation of operational warfare and military tactics where the players must command their T-Dolls—neural AI-driven androids with female appearances built as expendable units for military missions—in small-scale skirmishes with enemy squads.
The combat mainly revolves around the interaction between units, who predominantly use rifles, pistols, and other firearms, and the various obstacles on the map they can use as cover. Units under cover are able to take significantly less damage than they would otherwise receive out in the open. However, cover bonuses can be bypassed using several means, such as by flanking targets, using explosives, destroying covers, etc.
T-Dolls can be upgraded by leveling them up, equipping and strengthening their weapons, using attachments, specializing their skills, and various other means. The materials required to improve their stats can either be farmed or pulled from the game’s gacha. Most of its contents require stamina to access, so farming materials are time-gated unless players are willing to spend money.
T-Dolls and weapons can be obtained through its gacha system, and it features an SSR rate of 0.6% (0.3% for T-Dolls and 0.3% for weapons).
The Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium Story
Girls' Frontline 2: Exilium takes place in 2074, 12 years after the events of the original Girls’ Frontline. Set in Eastern Europe, the private military company Griffin and Kryuger have been dismantled by the government due to the threat of becoming too powerful and uncontrollable, but the player, the Commander, still persists in leading a small group of Tactical Dolls– dangerous tactically trained and armed women– well after their forced retirement.
As they live off of fulfilling odd bounties with their new, trusted partner Groza, as well as a lineup of new and returning T-Dolls, one delivery mission has them come out of a contaminated zone, wherein they are suddenly ambushed by an unknown force that steals their hard-earned cargo– a mysterious girl. The Commander must now set out to recover the cargo and uncover secrets and conspiracies tied to it.
