X-COM: UFO Defense

About X-COM: UFO Defense

X-COM: UFO Defense is a Strategy game in which you command X-COM, an organization created by the world's governments to fight a steadily growing alien threat. If you want to buy a Steam key, Ashop lets you purchase a licensed key without unnecessary clutter on the product page.

The core gameplay revolves around decisions that shape the course of the conflict. A downed UFO is only the beginning: afterward you lead a squad of well-armed soldiers across different types of terrain, investigate the crash site, and engage in close-quarters combat. The squad has access to assault rifles, rocket launchers, and even tanks, with each operation aimed at recovering useful technology, weapons, or alien life forms.

What the gameplay includes

• Tactical combat operations. You command ground missions after a UFO is detected and fight aliens at the crash sites.
• Technology research. Successful operations give X-COM scientists material to analyze alien items, technology, and the culture of alien races.
• Production of new equipment. Once enough research data on superior weapons and UFO craft has been gathered, it becomes possible to produce weaponry of comparable quality.
• Strategic decisions. You must weigh not only military actions but the political situation, since governments can make secret deals with the aliens and cut X-COM's funding.
