UFO: Afterlight



Platforms:  (PC)

Release date: May 4, 2007

Modes:  Single player campaign

Type:  Real time strategy (RTS)




An excellent game.  Many claim this game is what X-Com was meant to be.  Under a slightly less sinister atmosphere than X-Com and similar games, UFO Afterlight takes place in a future where Reticulans defeat human beings and force the last remaining into exile on Mars.  There humanity is forced to survive and attempt to thrive amongst masses of enemies and the harsh unlivable Martian environment.  On top of this the ancient inhabitants or Martians appear to have left behind an immense number of machines intent on destroying any who make their home there.  It is a dangerous situation indeed.  You must research new areas and technologies, access and secure vital resources, all while protecting yourself from attack by all manner of hostile forces.  It is a game of survival of the highest order.  Unlike X-Com and other similar turn-based games, UFO Afterlight is instead in real time, with options to pause, slow and even speed up the standard flow of time on both the planetary map view and during tactical missions.  A perfect game and certainly one of the best amongst the UFO or X-Com style alien combat variety.

  1. I recommend the Total Rebalance mod. It's one of the best I've used.
