All News for UFO: Afterlight

Description

As its prequels, UFO: Afterlight is a mixture of squad based tactical action and global strategy with the gamer controlling the actions of elite ground troops, and the running and expansion of the home base while collecting resources.

Although the basic game specifications will remain similar to those of UFO: Aftershock, there are many new additions and improvements in both strategic and tactical elements of the game. As Mars is the planet on which all the action will take place, we’ll have the opportunity to meet a number of new enemies, research new technologies, manufacture and use new advanced weapons, and even change the face of the planet in order to make it habitable to humans. All these plus a new graphical look, focus on RPG, smart scripting and a new insight on the series’ storyline will make the game a unique challenge to create a new home for mankind.
