  • Turn-based tactics
  • Strategy
  • Classic

The sequel to UFO Defense takes the invasion to the bottom of the sea: on the globe, in real time, you set up undersea bases, research and manufacture; in combat, your squad fights turn by turn and some missions chain two or three maps.

Why play it now

When you already know UFO Defense and want another campaign: same engine, set under the sea and reputedly harder.

Who it's for

For fans of the original X-COM who want another demanding campaign and don't mind 1995 graphics.

When not to pick it

If you don't want to wrestle with it: it runs in DOSBox, has bugs and some ship missions take hours.

What it offers

  • Thinking: 95 out of 100
  • Managing: 80 out of 100
  • Building: 45 out of 100
  • Combat / action: 30 out of 100
  • Creating: 30 out of 100
