X-COM: UFO Defense

X-COM: UFO Defense is a strategy game that combines tactical combat with base management and global defense. Players lead an international organization tasked with defending the Earth from an alien invasion. The game unfolds on two levels: a global view in which players manage resources, research alien technologies and intercept UFOs, and a tactical combat mode in which squad-based battles take place. Players recruit and train soldiers, build bases and develop new weapons and equipment based on recovered alien technology. The missions involve turn-based combat against aliens in a variety of environments, with permadeath providing additional tension. As the alien threat escalates, players must balance research, defense and offensive operations to protect the nations of Earth from panic and alien infiltration. The blend of strategic depth, tactical combat and atmospheric tension makes X-COM: UFO Defense a compelling gaming experience in the face of a global alien threat.
