XCOM Enemy Unknown is a turn-based strategy game developed by Firaxis Games and published by 2K Games.

The game is a “reimagined” remake of the 1994 strategy game UFO: Enemy Unknown, also called XCOM: UFO Defense, and it is also a reboot of the 1999 XCOM series by MicroPose.

The game is set during an alien invasion on Earth in the near future. You are given the task of defending the Earth against the alien forces and will control the XCOM, an elite multinational paramilitary organization. You will take on the role of an XCOM commander and command your troops (soldiers or robotic units) in a field through a series of turn-based missions that will also test your tactical skills.

The missions include tasks such as hunting aliens, and also objectives you need to complete in order to move on to the next phase of the game. Your soldiers carry items and are able to perform special abilities. Soldiers’ items and abilities can be gained as you survive more battles.

In-between missions, you would have to research and develop new technologies from existing alien technologies and some captured prisoners, expand your operations base, manage finances, and monitor and respond to alien activity.

The game also includes different levels of difficulty from “Classic” to “Impossible”, and each one gives you the option to enable the “Ironman” option. Take note, however, that the Ironman option will only limit you to a single save file all througout the game.

A one-on-one tactical battle multiplayer mode is also featured in the game where players spend a pre-defined amount of points for assembling a squad (6 humans, aliens, or both).

This game will not bag numerous awards for nothing. You’ll definitely play this one for a long time and never get tired of it.
