Description and review of the game XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Year of production: 2012. Genre: Strategy, Action, RPG, 3D.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a reinterpretation of the famous tactical turn-based game released back in the 90s, and from which, in principle, nothing special was expected, given the developers' desire for simplification. However, the game turned out to be simply amazing. The storyline tells us that in the near future, aliens have begun to visit planet Earth more often, and with clearly aggressive goals — to kidnap people, arrange a mass shootout, etc. To counter the extraterrestrial threat, the heads of all developed countries decide to create an organization called XCOM, which could promptly prevent attacks from aliens.

The mechanics of the game remain very similar to the first version, although there are changes. As before, we will have to play in two modes. The first mode is more economic, in which we will develop our base, on which we need to build laboratories, generators, satellite communications centers, hangars with interceptors, conduct research, interrogate aliens, and so on. In the second mode, we will directly fight with aliens, for which a team of four will be transferred under our control, and if improved, six elite fighters. Each fighter has his own equipment, appearance that can be changed, as well as skills. After the first level, the fighters randomly select a specialization from several unique classes, namely— medic, stormtrooper, heavy infantry and sniper. Each class can only use the weapons that are intended for it. For example, stormtroopers have a shotgun that causes tremendous damage up close and is practically useless from a long distance.

Your squad will periodically receive missions, which are divided into several types. The first one is a sweep. Let's say your interceptor managed to shoot down a UFO or aliens attacked a settlement. The second is the rescue of VIP persons, who are mostly attacked by aliens disguised as humans. The third type of mission is to mine the territory, when you need to make it in a few moves, otherwise the bomb can explode and destroy everyone around. And the fourth is the rescue of people in whom special aliens are trying to place their larvae. Moreover, several tasks can become active on the map at once, and you will have to choose which country to fly to. However, it should be borne in mind that if you do not fly to any country, then the panic level will become higher in it, and if it reaches a maximum, the country will stop financing you.

In short, XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a real godsend for fans of tactical games and strategies, so this game is definitely worth paying your precious attention to. Looking for a reliable 1xBet promo code?
