What XCOM excels at is making you suffer immediately for every choice that benefits you in the long run. But everything costs days, resources and cash – all of which are finite. Killing a new alien will allow you to perform an autopsy, unlocking new armour upgrades or biological enhancements for your troops, while shooting down their aircraft opens up tech advancements – but only of you have the time to complete research objectives.īuilding a containment cell allows you yo capture a live specimen (if you’ve got a soldier brave enough, of course) and research your enemy even further. The trick of course, is knowing what to spend your time and money on. 50% of XCOM is just like a top-down resource-gathering RTS, juggling dwindling consumables with necessary expenditure. Everything you construct takes time and money, and it’s easy to get caught out when you desperately need to launch a satellite over a panicking country but you don’t have sufficient power resources for a new uplink.

Building facilities like laboratories, workshops and satellite uplinks drain power, so you need to install power stations regularly. Once you have your FOB, organisation is key.

Picking country because it means you earn more money every month might seem sensible, but scrambling aircraft quickly is sometimes paramount – as is being able to complete autopsies and research assignments instantaneously. For example, building your base in the USA means that all aircraft and satellites will launch faster and cost less.Ĭhoosing the right nation for you straight off the bat is essential as it can’t be changed. You begin by picking a base of operations, not by your cultural leanings but rather based on whatever that nation’s starting package is. So how do you keep those global powers happy? You keep them alive and alien-free, that’s how. Your given a base of operations with barely a functioning lab and two clear facts: if you lose the support of too many global powers, the funding stops if the funding stops, XCOM stops – and we’re all for the probing table.

Your thrust into combat with a squad full of newbies at your command, recruits straight out of regular deployment now up against actual extra-terrestrial insurgents. You are the last line, and the only prize for second place is oblivion. With a global network of elite soldiers, world-class scientists and state of the art technology, your job is to defend humanity no matter the cost to XCOM itself. Your role is off the ground, a nameless Commander whose tactical brilliance is all that stands between the invaders and our complete annihilation. As an alien collective comprised of multiple species (think Halo’s Covenant, only less outright thuggish and not so devout) begins to lay waste to Planet Earth, XCOM leaps to the defence of everything we know.

The story of XCOM: Enemy Unknown is pure sci-fi action movie gold: humanity has known about the threat of alien invasion since the fifties (see The Bureau: XCOM Declassified), and has developed an international specialist task force to fight back whenever that invasion might occur.

I can honestly say that it’s the first strategy game I’ve ever played and truly enjoyed. A thinking man’s action game, Gears of War with a brain, Halo with a better tactical spin than Halo Wars – a game not about gung-hoism and high-fiving bro-heims, but about patience and planning as well as kicking the crap out of alien scum. It turns out that it was exactly all of those things, and yet also much, much more. A game developed by Firaxis, they of Civilisation fame, it seemed far too clever for my liking, far too involved – and so I more or less ignored it. Which is why I didn’t pay much attention to XCOM: Enemy Unknown when it was first announced. Had I been a soldier, I’d have likely been useless for anything but making up numbers and soaking up bullets.Īs a result, I tend to avoid strategy games like a plague of locusts, preferring something less cerebral like your average bombastic shooter or kill-loot-level grindathon, maybe a low-brow brawler like Mortal Kombat now and then. I’m governed by imagination, by whimsy and fancy and what-ifs. My brain doesn’t work in straight lines, doesn’t allow me to analyse a situation as it is and deal with it.
