It is regarded to be a tactical, turn based video game and is the ‘re-imagined’ remake of ‘UFO – Enemy unknown’ which is stated to be a strategy based cult classic released in 1994. It was in October 2012 that this game got released in Australia, Europe and North America for gaming consoles like the Xbox 360, PS 3 and MS Windows.

The player is said to be tasked with the challenge to defend Earth from the alien invasion. The player leads the troops into missions, while directing development and research of new technologies captured from alien technology.

Solid customization features. You definitely get attached to your squad so you definitely get upset when they get killed which is how it should be. Not overly complex which some may like and others not, but you can definitely ramp the difficulty up until it is painful.

Enter the story of the fierce war between humans and aliens! XCOM is back in full force, though it's not the same game as its predecessor.

At a time where FPS, RPG and action games appear on the market everyday, the return of XCOM is welcomed with a great satisfaction. If purists will be sad to find some of the original features gone, the newcomers will be pleased with XCOM : Enemy Unknown and its strategic and pleasant gaming experience that teaches a lesson to traditional and boring war games.

This game will test your mettle in a way that will make old fans tingle with a sense of unforgiving nostalgia, and will make clear to newcomers just exactly what XCOM is all about.
