DieHardGameFan: Times certainly change; while back in the days when the original X-Com: UFO Defense was making the rounds your options were generally full sequels, expansion packs or mods, these days developers can just dump some DLC into the game and off you go. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is no different, as Firaxis has indicated that they’ve got a few DLC packs in mind for the game, which immediately sparked interest among fans. While it’s unlikely anyone is really expecting Firaxis to give us a full-on Terror From the Deep styled expansion, despite the odd comments to that effect here and there, it’s entirely possible for them to add in new alien types, weapons, powers and more with little effort, so the idea that this could be a reality was interesting.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.
If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.
Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.
There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy. To be sure, we are more often than not talking about turn-based tactical mobile games, specifically titles in line with the iconic landmark series (XCOM and Jagged Alliance) that made the genre a genre.
Some games age better than others. When a game is getting on in years, mods can help give the game a little push and make it worth playing again.
