UFO: Aftermath

UFO: Aftermath is a 3D isometric tactical strategy game about fighting an alien invasion. You manage bases, interceptions and squads on a global map, then lead soldiers in tactical missions against aliens and mutants to take control of territories. Its systems combine global strategy, squad combat and RPG elements.

Global strategy

Territory determines your power: controlling more of it improves interceptor coverage. You also manage research, which can progress faster, and choose what kind of base to build in each territory you control: Research, Military, Manufacture or Biomass repulsion.

Soldiers and combat

Soldiers gain experience and improve over time. Their skills depend on six attributes: Strength, Agility, Dexterity, Willpower, Intelligence and Perception. Each point assigned to an attribute has a noticeable effect on that soldier’s skills.

Combat combines turn-based and real-time elements. You can pause the game to issue detailed orders without a time limit, then resume play; you can pause again at any point to change those orders. The game also pauses automatically when important events occur, allowing you to adjust your plans.

Missions and equipment

Tactical missions are generated at runtime, so each playing field is different. The game includes over 100 mission objectives and more than 70 unique weapons, set in a 3D alien world.
