About UFO: Afterlight

✦ AI summary

Lead a struggling Mars colony while uncovering the truth about alien forces reshaping the solar system through tactical combat and strategic base management. Experience a parallel storyline to the previous UFO games with new tech, environments, and enemies that reveal shocking secrets about the Myrmecols' galactic agenda.

The story is situated on Mars. It starts where UFO: Aftermath left off and runs simultaneously with UFO: Aftershock. While the Laputans on Earth are fighting Wargots and Starghosts and finding out what caused the destruction of their home planet, a small colony on Mars is trying to survive and flourish.

The player will gain more details about the activities of intergalactic organisms, called Myrmecols, in the solar system. The scientific research and communication with different factions on the Earth gives him a different perspective on the events of the two previous sequels. In UFO: Afterlight, the players will meet with brand new technologies, unusual environment and enemies both old and unknown.

Also works on Linux if you manage to put it in windowed mode. Don't know the reason but it does not work in full screen yet. Same for the other games in this series

A disgusting piece of code that punishes for playing it well. For correct walkthrough, it's must to play with an open Wiki for knowing where not to go ahead of time - despite the fact that skills of playing of this game are allow it. Or try to go through it like in the first time - without understanding how everything works here. Worst game in whole trilogy. But, at least, it's big finale happened in the best part - the second one.

one of my beloved games. Aged quite well: some indies have worse graphics =D Fist right between new X-Com and Xenonauts, providing some middle-ground experience.
