About X-COM: UFO Defense

✦ AI summary

Lead a squad of elite soldiers in tactical ground combat missions against alien invaders while researching captured alien technology to turn the tide of war. Navigate shifting global politics and strategic resource management as you decide humanity's fate in an increasingly desperate fight for Earth's survival.

You are in control of X-COM: an organization formed by the world's governments to fight the ever-increasing alien menace.
Features:
  • Command deadly close-combat battles
    Shooting down UFOs is just the beginning: you must then lead a squad of heavily-armed soldiers across different terrains as they investigate the UFO crash site. Tackle the aliens with automatic rifles, rocket launchers, and even tanks in the struggle to retrieve useful technology, weapons or life forms.
  • Research and manufacture alien technologies
    Successful ground assault missions will allow X-COM scientists to analyze alien items. Each new breakthrough brings you a little closer to understanding the technology and culture of the alien races. Once you have sufficient research data on the UFO's superior weapons and crafts, you'll be able to manufacture weapons of equal capability.
  • Develop a strategy to save the Earth
    You must make every crucial decision as you combat the powerful alien forces. But you'll also need to watch the world political situation: governments may be forced into secret pacts with the aliens and then begin to reduce X-COM funding.

its a classic for a reason. while xenonauts has the QOL and i like nu-xcom, old xcom scratches a certain tactical and strategic itch and has more SOVL. i like the comicbook/anime-esque designs and how varied the aliens are, something that xenonauts struggled with. it also has support for mods so you can overhaul it in a ton of different ways, like making it into a wh40k game. a lot of the issues with this game are also fixed if you get openxcom, which adds some QOL features too.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
