About XCOM: Enemy Unknown
XCOM: Enemy Unknown puts you in command of XCOM, a secret paramilitary organization defending Earth against a global alien invasion. You research alien technologies, manage resources and personnel, build and expand your headquarters, plan combat missions and direct your soldiers in battle.
XCOM's global response
The invasion brings a new story, enemies and technologies. XCOM’s operations span the globe, with more than 70 unique missions in which the team interacts and negotiates with governments around the world. You also detect and intercept the alien threat as you grow the organization.
Base and combat
At headquarters, you recruit, customize and develop unique soldiers while managing personnel and expanding the base. In turn-based ground battles, you direct squads and control individual soldiers’ movement and tactics. You can also deploy air units, including the Interceptor and Skyranger.
The game combines tactical, turn-based play with action sequences and on-the-ground combat.
