Hands-On with XCOM: Enemy Unknown - The Average Gamer

Every member of the XCOM Initiative has a name. You’ll soon find yourself developing relationships with even the lowliest rookie as they line up under the Skyranger before each mission.

As the campaign progresses, the aliens will spread over more and more of Earth. Soon enough your limited resources will present you with impossible choices – extract a skilled scientist team from France or quell a terror attack in Korea?

i heard they have removed random terrain maps / ammo / no alien looting etc, is this true? is the game just all graphics and the ant farm? game seems like it is turning into just another linear graphic action game for the pick up and play masses, instead of people that liked type of game the original offered

i want to like it as UFO and Tftd was my favorite games, but the whole gameplay design of this new one is really putting me off, i love the art style but if the gameplay is garbage then there is no point even playing it

In the few levels I played there was no ammo. At the end of a mission, corpses and weapon scrap were automatically brought back to the base and used as research materials but it was mostly tutorial levels so don't know if there will be areas or bodies to loot in later missions. Got an interview booked at E3 so I'll ask then.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - A Welcome Rebirth

XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.

If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.

Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.

Excellent game.
Played to death on PS3 years ago.

What other games were inspired by this game?

JL2930933d ago

Gears Of War Tactics, Phoenix Point. Many others.

shinoff2183933d ago

Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me

JL2930932d ago (Edited 932d ago )

It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.

Ten Best Tactical Mobile Games

There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy. To be sure, we are more often than not talking about turn-based tactical mobile games, specifically titles in line with the iconic landmark series (XCOM and Jagged Alliance) that made the genre a genre.
