The aliens, however, seem to be more accurate and you need to do this on missions that are longer, with more civilians in the way and deal with far more things about then the original UFO Enemy Unknown ever threw at you.

Saving the game often is vital as you’ll be pulling your hair out at times as your Aquanauts miss shots time and time again or the weapons you have do hardly any damage. On top of this in general the difficulty has been ramped up massively and this makes it frustrating to play whilst at the same time you’ll want to keep playing. There’s far more juggling about in XCOM Terror From The Deep then in the previous game Get this wrong and its going to be insanely hard to complete the missions. The main difference now is that XCOM now has to fight them underwater and on land and with this comes a bit of a headache as some weapons only work underwater so players have to think about which weapons to research and stock on the transport craft. The game takes the things that worked brilliantly in the first game and add a new strategic element.Īll the standard things remain such as the GeoScape and BattleScape where you now send Submarines to intercept and take down the alien submersibles and then send in a squad of Aquanauts to capture, kill and recover the alien tech to help the hired scientists to develop copies of or hybrid tech to level the playing field. The new alien menace has started to sink ships and attack port cities in submersible craft that are unknown to any nation and because of this the long disbanded XCOM is reactivated and it’s your job to stop the alien menace and take the fight to them. It’s 2040 and mankind has long forgotten about the alien invasion back in the late 20th/early 21st century and unbeknowst to the world when XCOM defeated the alien hive brain on Mars it sent out a distress signal to a long dormant race of aliens who have been biding their time in the depths of the Earths oceans. XCOM Terror From The Deep is the sequel to the smash hit turn based strategy game UFO Enemy Unknown (or XCOM UFO Defence in the U.S.) and when it came out it had a lot of fans drooling in anticipation when it came out way back in 1995 on the PC and later on the Playstation.
