Such a classic X-COM game that got me hooked to the series! Start here then play everything else!

An all-time classic strategy game. Sometimes a mission will take a long time because an alien gets scared and hides and it takes a lot of work to find it. But apart from that, a really enjoyable game.

****USE OPENXCOM IF YOU PLAY THIS GAME!!!**** OpenXCom is free to download, and only requires you to move some game files into it in order for it to run. On the website's forums you can find mods if you've had enough of vanilla. Most of them will require OpenXCom (OXC) or OpenXCom Extended (OXCE) to install. I had only ever played this game using OXCE. After playing the normal version, I can say this was the correct choice. If you like your ass beaten, and for it to somehow feel more fair than XCOM 2; If you like lots of micromanagement (I mean a LOT of micromanagement); If you didn't like UFO defense because it was too easy for your unmatched intellect; If you like looking at wiki pages and forums that haven't been touched in a decade (or two); If you don't suffer from an anxiety disorder, but would like to; If you like hammy 90's horror soundtracks; Play this game. This game will beat your ass. This game will get you feeling good that you managed to pull off a mission without anyone dying, and then next mission it will beat your ass. You will unlock new armor, or a fancy new alien grenade, only for it to beat your ass. You will screen your soldiers for M.C. strength, send them on a terror mission, and it will beat your ass. This game is not for the faint of heart. I have yet to beat the game's hardest difficulty. If you want a game that you can play, and play, and play, and play, then mod and play some more, this game has you covered. The difficulty levels all play differently from each other, and if you ever get bored there's always Ironman mode. The research tree, in tandem with random alien activity and few truly guaranteed events mean that each new game, the story can play out differently. I don't know how to end this review. Play the game. It's good. I think it says enough that this game is older than I am, by years, but I'm still comparing newer games against its standard.

Classic turn based game. The difficulty ramps dramatically in a short time period and some people view that as a flaw.

i played this using open x-com extended, and i did not bother to make sure my hours were reflected on steam. i like this game, it has neat enemies and at the end of the game you kill legally-distinct cthulhu. for some reason, i made way more money than i could reasonably spend, like if i decided to play through year two i would have been a billionaire easily. all the bad things people say are true, though: you will spend hours scouring closets and locating the last lobster man or gill man to kill. also, if you research some stupid bullshit before you capture a DEEP ONE TERRORIST or some other similar nonsense, you could be fucking yourself out of the end-game. but you get to shoot aquatic aliens, and that's pretty cool.
