Nostalgic old title that was one of the first ever game titles I played back on my Windows Vista. Dated, but still holds up strategically.

Worth a purchase if you REALLY need to scratch an X-com itch on a tight budget or need a nostalgia kick on a Friday night. It's over 20 years old so expect all the clunkiness that comes with that. Looking for a definitive alien-bashing tactical turn based strategy and value for money? Personally I'd save up a few extra quid and go for one of the X-Com remakes or Phoenix Point.

It has a great sound track and is very addictive once you get going. But I can see how a new player would have a hard time getting to grips with its controls. It does have a good story and is definitely worth the money.

Basically just classic XCOM, but real-time with pause. And under the hood it's basically just simultaneous turns, but you don't have to keep pressing the turn button. Character leveling looks a lot like a certain classic tabletop game whose name escapes me. The whole system really works for me. I was never sold on I-go-you-go turn-based systems, and making it real-time allows for the kind of granular control we had in the original XCOM without being tedious. It's tempting to think of this as an XCOM knock-off, but it's actually name-brand. Julian Gollop, the XCOM OG, was making this game before his company went bankrupt and he sold it to a little studio to finish. It's got a unique flavor of horror--I think we can credit at least that part to Altar games--but the actual story is exactly what you'd expect from an XCOM. I do recommend this, probably more than the original. I like the darker vibe and and new real-time system. Old XCOM is slow and new XCOM is simplified, but this manages to be fast and still gritty. The character system is cool, too. One caveat, though: the resolution. It runs at 1064x768, period. You're going to want to upscale through your GPU control panel after you've chosen the first (original aspect ratio) or second (stretched) option in the game launcher. Yes, it's that old.
