Strangely fun and relaxed, and not XCOM
(+1 star for personal prejudice) It's not perfect. For example, I ran into multiple instances of a graphic bug where one of my characters would glitch into the terrain when going prone. The game would slow down almost completely. Admirably, it would not crash, giving you a chance to save the game before reloading to fix the glitch. Remember to let the game time move foward a bit after reload. It did crash one time. So what is this game? Start with XCOM. Take away the turn-based tactics gameplay at the core of XCOM and replace it with something like the real-time with pause tactical gameplay of many CRPG or maybe Men of War, not as deep but with a greater demand on inventory management during combat. Use this gameplay for the missions in a broader strategic game involving construction/research/map conquest. This strategic layer is very X-COM like but less complex and more personable. Add to that a story that is more complex and dramatic than the run-of-the-mill alien invasion story of X-COM. Top everything off with appropriate voice acting and some likable characters. You now have a rough idea about UFO: Afterlight and why it is NOT a XCOM-like game. XCOM, especially the modern iteration, is built around its turn based tactical gameplay, which is nothing like the missions of UFO. If you like science fiction, like the idea of experiencing an alien invasion, like the mixed strategic layer of X-COM, but prefer a more laid back tactical experience than the meticulous turns of X-COM, then UFO: Afterlight is for you. Actually, it's the only franchise I know that fits this bill.
