If I missed some games, please write it in the comments and I will update the list. For each of them, you will find a description and link to Humble Bundle store & Steam. The various games like X-Com are in release date order, starting from 1994 up to 2021…and beyond. In the PC Games like X-Com listed below, you will find all the following mechanics: Once all the aliens are eliminated, it’s time to return to the base to perform autopsies and find out more about the alien threat, and develop new weapons. During the battles, our turn will alternate with the enemy units. Once a UFO is taken down, we have to investigate the crashing site by sending our soldiers and face the battle phase. In the Geoscape view, we had to take care of the whole management phase build new rooms for our base, recruit soldiers, engineers and scientists, produce weapons, research new technology and be ready to take down UFOs that appeared on our radar. In fact, the game had two distinct views, namely the Geoscape and the Battlescape. Overcoming the strategic elements of the 4x classics with turn-based battles phases. Ufo was initially born as the spiritual successor of the previous game created by Julian Gollop, called Laser Squad but then became such an important titile to completely obscure his predecessor.īut what made Ufo: Enemy Unknown successful? Surely the idea of merging 2 kinds of games into one.
The game was released back in 1994 and in America, it was marketed under the name of X-Com: Ufo Defense.
All started with UFO: Enemy Unknown, developed by Microprose and Julian Gollop studio, Mythos Games. The game that has rewritten all the rules of the genre boasting many attempts at imitation and inspiration. Today I want to talk about PC Games like X-Com, the strategic title par excellence.
