Alien threat [redacted].

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is now available DRM-free on GOG.COM, 80% off until August 20nd, 6pm UTC.

The government denies knowledge but they are here. With the Cold War paranoia at its breaking point, a unit of elite operatives must investigate and eliminate the extra-terrestrial threat away from the unsuspecting public eye. As agent Carter you must assemble and co-ordinate your top-secret team, make decisions under fire, and use advanced technology to outsmart the crafty aliens in this third-person shooter spinoff to the beloved tactical series.
low rated
Is this a strategy game?
EDIT: ah, nevermind. I somehow missed the part "action game". Interesting. Never heard of this game.

Whoop-dee-doo! :)
Edit: and for that price - an instabuy.
Edit 2: and the DLCs are also included...nice!

I absolutely loved this game! Although it really wasn't XCOM in the slightest, in terms of style or setting. It seemed to have a bit of a history of shoe-horning the XCOM universe in to make it all work but in the end, I still enjoyed the game.
I thought XCom were all TBS but that isn't specified here.

Is this TBS?

If I remember it well enough it was kind of a third-person cover strategy game. There was definitely a certain way of approaching many of the situations and you would move through a fairly linear (with occasional branching locations) set of set pieces in a mission.

It was fun for what it was, in my opinion.

Nope! Third person shooter. think Tomb Raider, but with more hiding behind cover, and poping up to shoot.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way, while I'll wait until tomorrow to see the weekend sale, before I make my usual end of week purchase, this is an absolute purchase for me. Thank you for the great DRM-Free release 2k and GOG!

Very nice release.

Hopefully we'll get even more 2K stuff here.

tinyE: Is this TBS?
No. As far as I know It's more of a tactical action game like Star Wars: Republic Commando.

@topic
For that price I think I'll give it a try although the reviews weren't that great as far as I remember.

YES! Loved this game back when I first played it... pleasant surprise I can now add it to my GOG library and on the cheap!
Not bad but not good either, atleast it's cheap.

I have to say that I think The Bureau: XCOM is an underrated game and the reason why it never really took off was because people expected it to be like regular XCOM.
