UFO: Extraterrestrials
Game description:

Many years have passed since the first colonists arrived Esperanza. Through hard work and determination, gradually setup base on their adopted planet. Over time, leaders have emerged, a government was formed, commerce flourished and the pilgrims from Earth eventually made the world of three suns their home. But recently, a deep space monitor registered a strong and mysterious reading.

Esperanza's scientists scrambled to investigate the trouble and made an alarming discovery - a wormhole had opened close to their planet. And even more disturbing, something had come ... was headed directly toward them. Concerns of an alien invasion abounded. In response, the United Government of Esperanza decided to send two recon ships, Lewis and Clark, to ascertain the truth. After two weeks of time, reconnaissance ships arrived the location of the mysterious reading ... and, as feared, discovered an alien vessel. But apparently the ship had somehow failed while en route Esperanza. It had crash landed on a small planet in the system.

The crews of Lewis and Clark landed on the surface, explore the crash site and recovered an alien computer and a chamber full of hibernated aliens. On his return home, the computer analysis and foreigners took place at the security center PC Esperanza. What the military scientists discovered was terrible news. Earth had been invaded and subjugated by alien hordes. They had plundered the resources of planet Earth and enslave human beings. Council immediately of emergency was called to decide what to do. The Council quickly determined that the fate that had befallen the land could befall them. They promised to be ready, if the aliens decided to invade. To defend against the aliens, the planet Esperanza collected best scientists, engineers and soldiers, and formed them into a single unit - the Counter Alien Force (CAF). And it is on the shoulders of such force that the survival of the human race now rests.
Exclusive Review:

X-COM UFO Defense is a game created in the early 90's. With its huge success has made his way up to today and some of the real fans who follow the genre that are still in a look out for fair play replace the game in hopes of finding one. Every year someone tries half with his version of the game, of course, done his way, with their own ideas. Since the game was released many are tired, none have succeeded. UFO Extraterrestrials is another failure that updates the original game to a new level. Here are the facts: the place where you are fighting aliens is the planet that is called Esperanza (Spanish Hope).

The initial base is equipped with interceptor boats that are used to break down any UFOs within the sensing range of the base and then attack the inactive sites saucer with teams of soldiers fighting sequences in RPG style tactical shifts based on a circulation system action-point-reliant. Successful completion of these missions will your soldiers gain new skills, and after searching the crash site the opportunity to get new weapons for ground teams. But as the mission will end when you attack the saucer crashed it also depends on which race you are fighting against. There are many creatures characterized, including giant insects, half-humanoid slugs and floating blobs, each with different attacks ranging from laser blasts and gas bombs to paralyzing mental blasts. How to discover the secrets of alien technology, so you can build advanced equipment to tackle the growing threat of alien invasion.

Are more successful in your mission, you will get more funding from the nations of Esperanza. Money is the key figure in this game, as necessary for the operation expanding across the entire planet. Taking a couple of key elements of the game to meet and match the demands. Your troops will grow stronger with each completed quest in the game. Unlock the secrets of alien technology, and then turn your enemies is another of the joys of the game is undeniable. Regarding the history of the games, not much to tell how the aliens invade the planet, and the only thing you can do is defend their destruction. One of the problems encountered in the game is the superiority of the alien races at their own troops. When they go looking for them, even if you will not see them with their exceptional eyesight and hearing. What will the nerves is that the game offers you the peripheral vision, but it is almost unusable. You will receive a number of maps that will be used in combination with different missions, and after a while 'you will see a rerun of some maps, but that is negligible for the variety of aliens that will occur.

In the early stages, the first level up troops, increase their resilience and provide them with high-tech weapons, you have to get within a couple of squares of a stranger, to have a better than 50% chance of hitting it. The initial equipment package is very humble, as well as jeep-tank hybrid vehicles. Another thing that is bugging me that the soldiers can not be killed in the game. What would normally be a good thing, as they mainly end up in a hospital for a couple of weeks. But then the problem is the lack of troops and the game will not let you recruit, but the game itself gives you more soldiers when he thinks you need it.

The only way to kill your soldiers is blowing the jeep-tank with soldiers in it. Esperanza is divided into large zones and you need to make sure you generate enough detection and interception bases around the planet to provide good protection for the nations most generous funding. When it comes to engineers and scientists, you get them with the construction of a laboratory and a workshop. All in all you fans of the game do not expect to get, will have more than one copy of the game, with slight improvements, but also other bugs in the game. The game serves its purpose and will distract you for a couple of hours in his own world, but has not been made a real sense of this very old game, yet ....
