About game
OpenXcom Extended is a fresh take on the iconic X-COM series, beloved by fans for starting the whole franchise. Many players argue that the original X-Com remains the pinnacle of the series. Its graphics still hold up impressively and its gameplay is nothing short of exceptional.
One of the game's best features is its support for mods, allowing players to expand their experience with new maps, weapons, units, and more.
If you've never tried X-COM before, now's the perfect time to dive in.
How to play
The game is divided into two parts.
The first part focuses on the strategic aspect of managing X-Com bases. This includes planning research activities, overseeing production and making key decisions to fight against the alien invasion.
Then, in the second part, the gameplay shifts into tactical mode. The aim here is to engage in ground battles with the aliens (or vice versa). The player takes control of soldiers in a turn-based system, aiming to achieve various objectives, such as destroying alien bases, capturing prisoners, UFOs, and valuable artifacts.
