A Decent but Flawed Effort

UFO: Aftermath is the end result of a project called The Dreamland Chronicles: Freedom Ridge. Dreamland Chronicles was going to be an effort by a studio called Mythos Games to turn their legendary strategy franchise X-Com into a 3D title. However, Mythos shut down. Since then two different companies, Chaos Concept and ALTAR Interactive have created their own spin-offs, both starting with the title UFO in memory of X-Com's original title UFO: Enemy Unknown. The first of these spin-offs was UFO: Aftermath. It's a semi-real time strategy game like X-Com: Apocalypse where you can freeze time to give commands to your soldiers who will carry them out in real time. Like the old X-Com games it also puts a heavy emphasis on territory control and base management. Aftermath has a few problems though. Both the enemy AI and the economy systems make Aftermath unique in the sense that the enemy has no real AI and everything is free. With no economy and with enemies never doing anything beyond shooting at you, the game is way too easy. But still, it's not that bad and some strategy junkies may find it to their liking.

Very fun and entertaining

As a kid I scantly followed UFO theories and was fascinated by the stories, but there was no real interactive way to go into the stories. Then I found UFO Aftermath. Remember, this was when the game was new, no patches, and my PC could barely run it on Windows 98. I still loved it. It also sparked my interest in military sci-fi and let me know from then on that I am a tactics game buff. The story is great, I won't spoil any of it. It's just a good story to this day makes me wonder why a book hasn't been made like this. The glossary of weapons, equipment, and research descriptions is more than enough for any sci-fi fan and entertaining on it's own to read. The AI is ok, not the best but you can tell certain enemies have certain preferences in combat. Cudgels seems to sneak around and hide when not engaged in combat, but as soon as they get a clear shot their lack of a brain shows and they shoot at you. Morelmen are non-sneaky versions of cudgels, etc. and all act for lack of a better word like wild rabid animals that wanna get you. But this is not a critique of the AI, as I think these are brainless creatures (a few are based off earthworms!) in the first place so it makes sense they act like they this, and may be an attempt by Cenega to simulate the behavior of such critters. There is a ton of guns, there is a lot of equipment, and a huge global map yours for the taking. I played through a few times and it's always fun. I come up with new tactics or revise old ones, but each time I play it's never exactly the same. For a last word I will mention in the options you can choose to start in Europe or America, Europe is easier as it's more territories in a smaller area meaning less flying times for your aircraft but America is what I choose for a challenge.

Not UFO: Enemy Unknown

This series is largely being criticised for "not being x-com" . And that criticism is correct in the same way that one might blame a bicycle for not being a jetplane. Obviously the purpose of a bicycle is not to fly. UFO: Aftermath actually continues the tradition and ideas set forth by the original X-Com developers in "Apocalypse" and in the unfinished project "Dreamland" which was canceled by Hasbro and the game's subsequent assets purchased by Altar Interactive who made the UFO series. So in Aftermath they expand the ideas of the original developers in their last unfinished game meaning it has no relation to "UFO Defense/Enemy Unknown" or "Terror From the Deep" as both are turn based games, or jetplanes. Theres many cool ideas to find in Aftermath, like a cover system and expanded training model, again like the one in Apocalypse. Suffice it so say if you found Apocalypse to be a good game then you'll have a good time with Aftermath and the rest of the series by Altar. The second game "Aftershock" got some very nice mods and the third one is definitely the most refined one. But they're all part of the UFO story which develops through the series and are all good games in their own way.

Nice game, but it is X-COM for masses

Let's first clear one thing: This is XCOM like game, but it is not a XCOM! It is a lite version of xcom. If you start rating the game without comparing it to the xcom, you might start to like it. Yes it has some of the XCOM's mechanics but most of those are just washed down to simplify the game. You are commanding remains of humanity in an attempt to re-take Earth from alien invaders. You do that, by undergoing set of missions which involves: capturing bases, capturing aliens for examination and exploring groudned UFOs. In between the missions, you will manage your bases, train people, research new technologies, adapt alien technologies and hunt for UFOs. There is not that much variety what you can do but you will quickly get the grip what you need to do. Tactical missions are done as real-time strategy with option to pause the game to plan your move correctly. It is crucial that you plan your movements until you get it. If some mission seems to difficult, you can always retreat, research/develop new equipment, change tactic, do some other missions to level up and then, try again. Basically, there are no big pentalties in this game, which might be appeling to some demographic. However, I wished that tactical part is done without annoying reselection of your squads as soon as they spot alien and possiblity to quick group members in your squad. Manual states that quick group are possible, but it simply does not work!! And foolish system where you almost always need to cancel whole unit orders (by pressing 'c') if you want to modify current ones, will drive you mad. If you want a xcom game, then skip this one. It really has nothing of the complexity of the original and whole game seems almost linear, while xcom offered you much much more freedom. Still, xcom complexity and age might turn unpatient so this game is probably for those people. If you haven't played xcom, you can try UFO:Aftermath. After that, try XCOM to see what have you been missing all these years...

For X-COM missed-ones ONLY

If you started with X-COM/UFO you can't never be satisfied by Altar's UFO series, but still it's a good game, which has implemented "new" (better say modern) game mechanisms on its own. If you want UFO remake, there is no other way than just keep playing the original one.
