Jan. 2025

Bit of a hot take but this is my favorite XCOM game because of the realtime combat.

Dec. 2024

After all these years, still my favorite game. Though never truly finished, the concepts behind interactive organizations, relations, backlash, influences within a city like structure and managing that with an organization trying to save the city takeover by aliens with people you can personalize and develope is just alot of intrigue in an imaginative mind of an artist and ISFP such as myself. Its too bad it was never completely finished, but still far enough along to enjoy. To bad no one has made an X-COM Apocalypse 2. The rank structure of the agents are more real as they are not determined by just experience, but quantity. you wont have a game full of colonels as they did in later XCOM games

July 2024

This is a gem of a game different from all the other x-com, the real-time battle is my favorite gameplay and is similar to UFO series Faction dynamics, raid cult of syirus for cash is a needed step on higher difficulty The weekly progression of aliens as you struggle with base-building research, equipping agents, and replacing agents. Body armour available at the start is good to keep a soldier alive thru one hit need step for a future that already repelled an alien invasion once.

July 2024

A bit buggy, but not on a "Bethesda" level. Just save regularly, and all's good.

June 2024

This game is great considering its age, i go back to play this because nobody has made a new version like enemy unknown which i feel is a real missed opportunity as this game combines looking after everything i want in an xcom game
