Threatened by an unknown enemy, the Earth’s governments unite to form an elite paramilitary organization, known as XCOM, to combat this extraterrestrial attack. As the commander of XCOM, you control the global defense team in a battle against a terrifying alien invasion by creating a fully operational base, researching alien technologies, planning combat missions, and controlling soldier movement in battle.
great game, loved every minute of it. what it really needs is more weapons and features and some more maps as they begin to repeat near the end (even on first play through) but the game has a lot of charm and the new expansion pack out in Nov will fix all of the minor issues
