From there, you need to use money and engineers to create new buildings inside your base – space for which needs to be first excavated. The main control room has a map of Earth, providing an overview of the situation and also used to advance time in the game. You start off with the basics, such as a research center where you pick what tech to unlock next an engineering lab where you can order the construction of new buildings in your base and the barracks where your troops reside. Unlike the original games, you’ll just be limited to one base on Enemy Unknown, and will have to organize your buildings accordingly.Īt the outset, the game feels quite overwhelming, but it’s not long before you are familiar with the base and its various sections. You’re given a choice of a base location, each providing various passive bonuses to your cause. You are tasked with commanding XCOM, an elite military organization that has been put together with the help of all major nations and your job is to protect Earth from this invasion. The new XCOM: Enemy Unknown is not as deep as the originals, but its essential elements of squad management and base building live on through punishing difficulty.Įnemy Unknown, like the original games, put the player in an alternate world history where aliens have invaded earth. And who else better to reboot this series than Firaxis Games, developers that took another hugely popular Civilization series and updated it over the past few years. Following a few expansions and failed reboot attempts, XCOM: Enemy Unknown has now made it on to store shelves, promising much of the same classic gameplay that the originals were known for. UFO: Enemy Unknown was one such title, released back in 1994 and quickly gained a huge following thanks to its deep mechanics and unrelenting difficulty.
Not all turn based strategy games are created equal.
