About this product

Product Information

A re-imagining of the popular and influential 1994 PC title X-COM: UFO Defense, XCOM: Enemy Unknown takes place in the near future when hostile and technologically superior aliens have invaded Earth. To fight back, the world's governments have formed an elite paramilitary organization, and as commander of this "Extraterrestrial Combat Unit," players must coordinate a worldwide effort that includes planning combat missions, controlling the soldiers in battle, researching and reverse-engineering alien technology, and creating and upgrading the XCOM base.<br><br>Instead of constructing bases all around the world, gamers conduct business from a massive underground bunker that is sliced in half to offer something of an ant-farm view, and they launch satellites to keep watch over specific countries. When a country is under assault players send in a group of unique soldiers to fend off the invaders in turn-based skirmishes. In battle each character can freely move once per turn, and perform one action per turn as they maneuver around highly destructible environments. Gamers can then excavate and install facilities at their base for things like resource collection, alien interrogation, and soldier upgrades, though each successive room costs more to install.<br><br>Every decision players make in XCOM: Enemy Unknown has lasting consequences. When soldiers die, they stay dead forever, turning their upgrades and advancements into sunk costs. And with assaults taking place around the globe, gamers must make strategic decisions about where and when they send their limited resources. The only way to truly lose the game is to have eight member countries leave XCOM's council, and abandoning one country in order to save another can result in severe political consequences.<br><br>The sole multiplayer option in XCOM: Enemy Unknown resembles a classic "Team Deathmatch" mode, but the action stays varied because gamers are given the option of filling out their roster with units from both sides of the conflict. Ranked matches offer players 10,000 points to spend on six units, their weapons, their gear, and their special powers, while private matches can be customized in any way the participants see fit.

  • My answer too titanfall.

    I'm sorry but the A.I. on the game was amazing at first but during the missions I realized it was faulty on Missions and so was the respawn condition when considered with the TITANS. Espescially when they were only available soon before enemies were in the kill and shortly after they ambush you. I find myself shooting them in the head Twice and no reaction. I let off a whole clip and their still not down. Not to mention you can't use your rocket launcher on regular enemy combatants. I don't believe the A.I was fully capable of computing the entire game or only it's side of it which is destroy you no matter what it takes. (Deep intelligent breath) Which is understandable if you are competing against an A,I. however if your going to compete against one it should be fair. Not only to the consumer but to the user. I find the Maps worked poorly it would only show enemies which were traveling on the sidewalk which was part of a poorly drafted smurred building impression on the map. The enemies would often pass you or someone on the team run arouind kill the person in front and then shot by the rest of the team. Said team would soon be ambushed. I did a lot planning for ambushes and managed the same behavior of the A.I as it was learning. All in all I feel it wasn't compatible with my learning. I would empty a clip on an enemy and make a mere impression. While their two shots killed me. I understand that upgrades can be made to guns and outfits but I would also like the person A.I to get a little better. Like for example Artillery Air support GPS support and I mean of entire struction considering you have advance A.I on the Ground and Entire Satelite Systems which could if upgraded provide such support. Over all It's a poor game. I feel Like I'm a General, If not at least get paid for this... I mean I feel like I'm so sick with this A,I., I'm so Starred up, I stay here While the generals take a leave. No google, you don't have permission to run your piece of shyt "Cloud. Why the fuck would pay you or any of you geeks for your overpriced overworked garbage that you decide to make. Those two bullets I shoot in their head would take em out cuz My bullets hurt two , You could tell cuz my armor is on point. I fiery sword you niggas. Bang Bang., Those would eight shots would wound you like the animal are. King and Arthor and the Round Table. Remember it. /watch?v=mBJIhv7HIXs Xcom Review I find this A.I. which you can make upgrades to intelligence a solution to the poorly executed A.I on Titanfall. However it also is limited. I would hope a future game to be accompanied by both and encorporate Airstrikes and Artilery..

  • Fun turn based game

    This game is a fun combination of building your operations base and fighting aliens. The turn based combat system gives you time to choose how to move each squad member. Objectives are tough but achievable. All in all, this is an enjoyable game.
