Attention Command: Advent has introduced a new class of field operatives—code-named “Angels.” Unlike previous enemy deployments, these units emphasize visual impact over traditional intimidation. Outfitted in form-fitting armor and striking silhouettes, they seem engineered to provoke hesitation, disrupt focus, and throw XCOM forces off balance. But battlefield confusion isn’t their only purpose. Civilian surveillance reports suggest the Angels also serve as morale stabilizers among the occupied — a prettier face to authoritarian control. Turns out oppression’s easier to market when it’s got curves and a perfect smile.

Intercepted memo reads: "Deploy the angels at maximum force. They will do what weapons cannot: disrupt patterns, confuse targeting, overwrite discipline, and pacify the masses. They will call it spectacle. We call it control."

The Advent Angels – Steam Edition brings the flair of action anime fan-sérvice into the XCOM universe, replacing many of the Advent and Alien enemy units with a stylized, visually striking all-female crew. Designed as a cosmetic overhaul, this mod offers an alternative visual experience for players who enjoy bold designs, dramatic flair, and a touch of over-the-top style. Whether you’re here for the aesthetic, the concept, or just to see Advent’s weirdest psy-op yet, I hope you find something fun in it.

"Yeah, the Angels are real — and no, they’re not here to sing you to sleep. Advent’s dressing their killers like they stepped off a pin-up calendar, hoping you’ll stare just long enough for them to pull the trigger.

And it works — every second your eyes wander, you’re one step closer to the grave. Keep your focus, soldier. They want you distracted… because distraction is the deadliest weapon they carry."

"She winked at me before she pulled the trigger. I swear."
INTERCEPT #387-C
"They don’t just fight — they pose. And somehow, that’s worse."
INTERCEPT #492-F
"If you catch yourself staring… you’ve already lost."
INTERCEPT #1002-G
"She unzipped halfway and winked at the Skyranger. Our pilot nearly hit a tower."
INTERCEPT #1567-A
"She posed for a photo. Our entire squad actually stopped to take it."
INTERCEPT #2517-K
"She blew a kiss at our heavy gunner. He dropped the rocket launcher… on his own foot."

I’ll be straight with you: I can’t model. Meshes, UVs, rigging, textures—way out of my league. But the vision? That I had. And it was glorious. But no one else was doing it, not even a hint. So I started commissioning. Trouble is, this work is pricey—at least three to five grand by the time it’s over—and I’m not rich enough to drop that kind of money casually. A generous donor swooping in would be amazing, but in lieu of that, it’s about pooling support.

I covered the Stunlancer and part of the Trooper out of pocket, just to get the project moving. Now it’s in the community’s hands. If you want to see how far this can go—and how wild it can get—let’s build it together.
