There is a threat out there, just waiting for us. A threat greater than any individual superpower could ever hope to overcome. A threat we can't even understand. Divided, we have no hope for survival. Together...we just might stand a chance.
The Earth's governments have joined forces, forming XCOM, a global paramilitary organization with one goal; to target and eliminate this extraterrestrial threat before it's too late. But we can't do it alone, we need your help. Will you enlist?
Will you serve as Commander of XCOM, will you join the fight to help your fellow citizens of Earth live to fight for one more day?
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.
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
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.
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.
Some games age better than others. When a game is getting on in years, mods can help give the game a little push and make it worth playing again.
I shall enlist, if only you shall have me, XCOM.
I'm throwing money at the screen and nothing is happening. When is this out?
About time this franchise got a reboot! I'll definitely try it out myself. :)
Walk to shop, buy xcom, walk home, sit down to play xcom, NOT ENOUGH TIME UNITS... End turn. Enemy movement, begin turn, PLAY XCOM!
I'm wondering, does this game have co-op? Either way i'm enlisting day one.
