There's something evil in the city tonight... Earth has been ravaged by human excess, petty conflict, and alien invasion. The world's population has been herded into huge cities, the first of which was Mega Primus.
2084: A Utopia shattered, social collapse and civil unrest reigns in Mega Primus.
Fiendish aliens terrorize the city. UFOs swarm through Dimensional Gateways. The city's under siege from an unknown enemy.
Your mission, as X-COM Commander, is to combat alien aggression and uncover their deadly intentions. But Beware! Alien infiltration into the city and its politics could see you under fire from criminal gangs, religious sects, and even the police!
Alien fleets fill the skies, creatures terrorize the city, chaos reigns... Welcome to the war, welcome to the Apocalypse.
Explosive third game from the highly successful and thrilling X-Com series, following X-COM: UFO Defense and X-COM: Terror from the Deep.
Battle alien invasion fleets over the city of Mega Primus in real-time.
Combat the alien infestation in real-time or turn-based tactical missions.
Research alien-based technology. Create newer and more destructive weaponry.
Destroy alien sympathizers and stem alien infiltration. Wage war on new worlds in the Alien Dimension.
There is a lot of jank in this game. The core is beautiful, but the amount of BS that happens while trying to enjoy it really sours the experience. Slightly departs from it predecesors, and, in my case, showed me where my allegiances lie. I will continue to experiment with it, but I can no longer approach it in a serious, tactical mindset.
A most painful experience. Not sure I will ever finish the game. If you're serious about playing it then read or watch as much as you beforehand.
Otherwise you'll probably have to restart it half a dozen times in order to succeed. Imo this game was never really finished. It gives almost zero explanation on what to do when and how.
Have fun!
PS: I'm a big fan of the original UFO and I love turn-based strategy (btw the RTS option here turns the game into a total mess) so it's certainly not the concept or genre.
I have not purchased the this on Gog but this was one my goto games way back when long hard fun game. You can save the game and terrorize the city for no reason whenever you crave that action (I do). Excellent Sci Fi world interesting lore. Nice to have a RTS Xcom game that you can pause.
This game is waiting for a review. Take the first shot!
