UFO: Aftershock
Developer ALTAR Interactive
UFO: Aftershock is a real-time tactics/strategy video game developed by Altar Interactive and released by Cenega Publishing in Europe and Tri Synergy in North America in 2005. It is a squad combat game at its core with overlying strategic elements inspired by the 1994 classic UFO: Enemy Unknown, though less than its own 2004 predecessor, UFO: Aftermath. It was followed by UFO: Afterlight in 2007. From Wikipedia (CC BY-SA 4.0)

unlabelledView post →This is, by no means, a bad entry in the UFO saga. but it's one I cannot recommend. It's a pretty solid game, with plenty of emergent storylines that will make you love the game, like the old UFO games. The fact that's in real time shouldn't matter, because you can always pause the game to give your orders. There's also an implemented class system, to customize your squad, and, while the "base building" part is less than optimal, it's still decent, even if it's decentralized. So, with that…

unlabelledView post →(Youtube link the bottom of review) UFO Aftershock is the second of the three and in my opion the best of them. Aftershock follows on after the first, the Biomass has taken over and colonies of mutants are appearing, both friendly and unfriendly. Aftershock follows more of a story line with side missions of helping other fractions for rewards such as territory and favour. The weaponry is far larger than Aftermath, bringing in alien weapons to begin with, to then creating various human…

unlabelledView post →I remember seeing this game for sale in places like Wal-Mart and Best Buy when it was new, never seen a copy sell before, and I learned that the game had STARFORCE which was debatably a very destructive DRM method at the time. I read reviews and learned the game had quite a few bugs. Well, a decade later, the DRM's removed and a handful of bugs are patched, the game's very playable. How is it? Well... Graphics: They've aged pretty well for a game from that era, to be honest. Lot of stuff looks…
