The third installment of the popular series of turn based games created by Microprose. In X-COM: Apocalypse, we assume the role of the commander of X-COM, an organization created to defend Earth against the alien invaders. The base gameplay is exactly the same as in the previous installments of the series. During the game, we build and develop bases, research new technologies, as well as employ and equip our soldiers.

X-COM: Apocalypse for PC is a next installment of the popular strategy game series from MicroProse, including X-COM: Terror from the Deep and UFO: Enemy Unknown. The game follows the theme of its predecessors, but at the same time it’s full of changes and updates. The theatre of operations has changed – we leave Earth to operate in a large metropolis called Mega-Prime. Special independent organizations have appeared which can rent various buildings in town and conduct actions that often work against us. A good example is Cult of Sirius, which recognizes aliens as gods.

Gameplay

When it comes to combat and tactical plays, everything works the same as in the predecessor, we are still hunting flying saucers and send combat units that have to clear out the areas controlled by the aliens, gather the remains of their technology, and deliver the finds into the hands of our scientists, who will research them quickly, and adapt them to our needs. As always, we manage the whole X-COM organization, employ adequate personnel, agents, soldiers, etc. control the development of our technologies, and equip our bases and units with appropriate equipment.
