UFO: Extraterrestrials

UFO: Extraterrestrials

UFO: Extraterrestrials is a Microsoft Windows game intended as a spiritual successor to the highly acclaimed UFO: Enemy Unknown (called X-COM: UFO Defense in North America). The game was developed by Chaos Concept and includes a twist where the aliens defeat the humans on Earth. The game takes place on a human-populated planet called Esperanza, where the alien threat has just arrived.

Story

Planet Esperanza - colonized by the spaceship Magaleansh in 2020. Many years have passed since the first colonists arrived on Esperanza. Through hard work and determination, they gradually established a base on their new planet. Over time, leaders emerged, a government was formed, trade flourished, and the pilgrims from Earth eventually made the Planet of Three Suns their home. But recently, a space monitor registered a strong and mysterious reading. Esperanza scientists set out to investigate the disturbance and made an alarming discovery: a wormhole had opened near their planet. And even more disturbing, something was coming through.... headed straight for them. Fears of an alien invasion were growing. The Esperanza government then decided to send two reconnaissance ships, the Lewis and the Clark, to find out the truth. After two weeks, the reconnaissance ships arrived at the site of the mysterious report.... and discovered, as feared, an alien ship. But apparently the ship had somehow failed on its way to Esperanza. It had crash-landed on a small planet in the system. Lewis and Clark's crews landed on the surface, examined the crash site, and recovered an alien computer and a chamber full of hibernating aliens. Upon their return, the computer and the aliens were analyzed at the Esperanza Security Center. What the military scientists discovered was terrible news. Earth had been invaded and subjugated by alien hordes. They had plundered the planet's earthly resources and enslaved the humans. Immediately, an emergency council was convened to decide what to do. The council quickly determined that the fate that had befallen Earth could also befall them. They vowed to be ready in case the aliens planned an invasion. To defend against the aliens, Esperanza gathered the planet's best scientists, engineers and soldiers and united them into one unit - the Counter Alien Force (CAF). And on the shoulders of this force now rests the survival of the human race.
