Summary

The video is a gameplay commentary by Evidicus on the new Corrupt Xeno Hatchling DNA mission in the game Menace, introduced in Patch #8. The player runs the mission on Expert difficulty in an Ironman campaign, which is only the third mission of a new campaign. The mission is described as extremely difficult, with infinite enemy respawns, enemies spawning close to the player, and a map full of narrow streets and line-of-sight blockers. The player struggles to complete objectives while managing limited resources and action points. They make tough decisions, such as leaving squad members behind to prioritize the mission. The commentary highlights the mission’s high difficulty and the lack of viable strategies for new campaigns, with the player noting that many players recommend aborting or restarting the campaign. The video also includes observations about enemy accuracy and composition changes in the patch, though these are anecdotal. The player ultimately completes the mission but with heavy casualties and a sense of dissatisfaction. The video serves as a warning to other players about the mission’s brutality and offers some tactical insights based on the player’s experience.
