3.0 out of 5 stars This game would have been a 4 star if not for the bugs., August 10, 2007
By 
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: UFO Afterlight (Video Game)
OK, this game is GOOD... could be great except it shipped with a lot of bugs that have kept most gamers from playing it. It seems that they're still in a patching phase...
I was lucky. I have Win XP and after getting the newest drivers for my video card I was able to play this game with only a slowdown that occurs because I want to run high end video ;\. I haven't finished it yet, but I've played it enough to give a good review.

It's a tactical rts based on the X-Com genre of games. Characters come with 1 or 2 of 3 possible classes: soldier, scientist, or technician. Your units gain levels in their class when they do something related to that class. Levels mean both basic attribute adjustment and skill points. Skill points allow scientists to research certain tech branches quicker, technicians to produce certain items quicker, soldiers to kill aliens quicker... aaaannnnddd some skills from one class help another class (i.e. a scientist can get medical training and use a medkit in battle while a technician can repair robots and space suits). There's a lot more, but I'll let you discover those yourself.

Back to the tactical. There is an overworld map with territories where you can get resources and place some necessary structures... terraforming, radar, etc. You only have one base, but its enough. This game is real-time, but there is a pause/play control that is of key use during the game. During battle you can have your units pause the game after certain things occur (i.e. they have no 'plan' to do anything, etc). Also in the overworld 'strategic game' after your scientists have finishing researching a technology, when your technicians have finished producing an item, when a unit has finished training or one of your 'class' vehicles has returned to base... you can have the game pause automatically.

Note, in the tactical battle I'd suggest using the 'free' camera mode. Their 'auto' really annoys me.

I think these guys had a great idea, but they released it without enough testing ;\

Check the system requirements if you're thiking of buying and make sure that you update your video drivers if you do buy. Check their support forum as well. Sad to say, but it's likely you'll need it. Also, you will have to install the game under your administrator account. ;\
Good luck.

5.0 out of 5 stars If all UFO games where like this..., August 25, 2007
= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: UFO Afterlight (Video Game)
Ok, I've been sceptical towards a LOT of the newer x-com "remakes" or whatever you can call them. THey have been rather horrible in many ways and many try to capture the feel of x-com, but few have succeeded...if any at all. For some reason these games sounds good if you read about them, but always horrible to play. This game somehow didn't try to reinvent x-com feel and at first I thought it looked way to colourful and...well I didn't like the gfx and how things looked. I tried the game anyways and yes it was rather tough to understand how everything works, but when you get the hang of it it really pays off. It's sad to see people give it so low scores because of bugs. Strangely enough I haven't had any bugs besides the memory leak..and it's not that a big deal. This IS the best UFO game out there these days by far. The combat part is very challenging..and it gets better as you research different stuff. The world seems much more dynamic than any other UFO game I've played. But you won't notice until you've come a long way into the game. This has been the best gaming experience I've had in many many years. Hope more more comes along. if this is the first game of several then the next games must become classics.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good replacement for Xcom, March 26, 2008
By 
Richard Downey (Rock Falls, IL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
= Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: UFO Afterlight (Video Game)
It is amazing that PCgamer and Windows Computing never have mentioned Cenega and their line of games, as they aren't too bad. Yes they differ from the old classic Xcom but enough to be enjoyable.

The game has two modes, the world mode, where you plan strategy, research new technology, and build on the planet Mars different things, such as mines. In the strategic mode, you are going on missions and fighting bad guys. You have to watch your space suits as they get damaged, as well as the medical status of your team in a program and go mode. And because you don't get many replacement soldiers you are constantly under the gun not to rush in or make suicide runs.

For the price I would recommend the game. It is fun, had a pretty decent story, and if you played the previous UFO: Aftershock, it ties directly into that story line.
