UFO Aftermath is not X-Com

Let's discuss UFO Aftermath: 1. It is not X-Com, don't even try to compare them. Granted the Greys (Reticulans) resemble Sectiods but the similarities stop there. 2. If you feel the need to compare it to another game, it feels a bit like Fallout with some Strategical elements added. Okay now that is out of the way let's talk shop, graphic wise the game isn't the best of best even for the time it got released in. The game doesn't have a lot of music files and only a hand full of sound files. Don't expect creepy music when you are sneaking up on aliens. The game is challenging at first, when you are running around with SMGs and Shotguns the game is very challenging, later on as your soldiers gain levels and you get better equipment it starts to get easier. Expect to lose a few soldiers early on if you are not careful. Some missions (Alien bases and UFOs) are ... annoying in design. Finally, the good tends to "slow" down to longer you play. All in all, a decent game, not as good as the later games of the series, Aftershock and Afterlight.

Clunky garbage

Real time with pause system in worse form than ever. The marketing text says "A unique combination of real-time and turn-based combat", which is true, as long as unique also means terrible. This game keeps the worst aspects from both TBS and RTS: slow, and tedious (more so than many turn based games), but doesn't give that many tactical options or superb control. The badly aged graphics doesn't help either, but I could overlook that, if there was any enjoyable element of the gameplay. Or at least a comfortable interface. Really, I couldn't find anything positive.

Why does it have to be X-COM?

Let me begin by saying, I don't find the other UFO games very interesting. Afterlight and Aftershock both missed the target in my opinion. Aftermath, however, hits a sweet spot. The gameplay is fun, methodical, and captures the feel of what the world is supposed to have become. Now, about every other reviewer comparing this game to X-COM... Don't compare this to X-Com. X-Com is supposed to be a different feel, with a different setting. This is darker, grittier, and imho (if you enjoy post-apocalyptic games) better. Grab the ComboMOD, which adds new missions, weapons, squad members, and enemies.

Hard but rewarding

This is not XCOM, but it is a good game. It is not turnbased, but realtime with pause. You really have to play it modded but there are amazing mods available for the ALTAR games. It is incredibly hard but also incredibly rewarding to play. If you completed TOTD you can handle this. DO IT.

Nostalgia

Trying to go to sleep last night I suddenly thought of this game. I have played Xcom EW lately, and got to think about this game. I remembered the sounds, music and awesome research screens. The game just felt so right, in a sense that almost all hope is lost, humanity is almost gone. I just had to get up and buy it from GOG. The game is not an xcom equivalent but the feel and atmosphere of it is totally awesome. Even 11 years later.
