UFO: Aftershock	Cenega;Tri Synergy (ALTAR Interactive)	2005	[b]missing images:[/b] indoors tactical mission*[b]destructible environment[/b] - easily goes unnoticed as you require some [i]heavy[/i] firepower to accomplish this and it tends to bug more often than not, so it isn't very useful. The most common way for this to bug is when a door is destroyed, making the doorway unusable for some mystical reason, often trapping your squad somewhere. I've yet to see a case where this actually [i]opened[/i] a path for the units to move through (they can shoot through the broken wall sections, though).

The Reticulans who invaded the Earth are not true representatives of their kind, they are a breakaway faction that burned the bridges and chose this backwater part of space to conduct its experiments. The Reticulans would construct a large satellite (several kilometres across) with a closed ecosystem and move the remnants of human population there. The experiment with the Biomass would go on on the surface. Then something went horribly wrong...	Windows

In the year 1878, the mysterious Dr. Morhead built a laboratory on the remote Soreo Isle and started his experiments on human/animal hybrid genetics, violating the very foundations of nature. His work was aimed at the creation of animals that look, feel and behave more like humans. He created bizarre never-before seen creatures, ModBeasts, Humanimals and Brutes, each kind with unique abilities, tactics and firepower. After many years of hard labor bringing his desires into reality, Dr. Morhead achieved remarkable results in giving animals a human look, but there was one thing he did not take into account: animals are born as the children of nature, so their powerful bodies retained wild souls. The creatures' true nature could not be concealed forever, and the day came when Dr. Morhead fell prey to his own creations. Years later, this island was visited by the H. M. S. Spider and a party of sailors went ashore and first found nothing but some small, indigenous wildlife...until they met the real inhabitants of Soreo Isle. The mysterious world of Vivisector consists of a more than sixteen huge levels, pitting players against the wild unpredictable natives of Soreo Isle while struggling their way through lush tropical jungles, deep woods and snowy mountains.

WorldShift	Black;Akella;Black Sea Studios (Black Sea Studios)	2008	[b]Factions:[/b] * Humans * Tribes * Cult*Latest version: 1.0.21 (as of 2008-09-08)[b]2008-05-08[/b] — WorldShift beta ended. Among the accomplishments of the testing was the finding of at least 20 "impossible" bugs.[b]2008-02-12[/b] — WorldShift beta testing starts.RU [i]Akella[/i] BG [i]Black Sea Studios[/i] IT+ES [i]FX Interactive[/i] DE+INT [i]Black, Inc.[/i] (brand of RTL Games GmbH) UK? PlayLogic*DARK FUTURE LIES AHEAD In the 21st century, shortly after the colonization of our Solar System had begun, a huge dark object appeared beyond the orbit of Pluto. The object, called ‘Shard Zero' by the scientists, possessed some kind of a deadly aura, spreading mysterious ‘plague' of cosmic scale around itself, twisting and disrupting the very nature of space and life. There was no time for reaction, and all attempts to study the anomaly remained futile. When we finally realized the object is moving on a collision course with our planet, it was too late. Shard Zero hit Earth and that was the end of our civilization. WorldShift is set thousands of years later, when our civilization is no more than a fading myth. The remains of Shard Zero still are spreading its Plague, twisting and re-shaping Earth and its nature, sometimes in the course of centuries and sometimes in a matter of hours. Humans developed a new culture and now live in 5 mega-cities, struggling every day for the precious resources they need to survive. The rest of Earth is populated by the Tribes, successors of early humans, that were affected by the Plague. A NEW TAKE ON STRATEGY WorldShift is a next-gen cyber-fantasy RTS game designed to be quick and very easy to learn and play. It offers hectic, fierce encounters all around the Earth and a fascinating story uncovering ancient secrets about the true nature of the Shard and the Plague. But also, WorldShift introduces many features new to the genre, like modifiable factions, unqiue cooperative multiplayer gameplay, and more. ITEMS, RELICS AND THE ABILITY GRID In WorldShift, there are no technology trees featuring hundreds of upgrades; instead, WorldShift allows the players to discover and acquire a vast number of items and powerful relics that they can use to freely change their gameplay and preferred tactics and to surprise their foes. The players will gather items as they fight their opponents and as rewards for completing missions. But to discover the most powerful relics, they must form teams with their most trusted friends and embark on deadly missions where it is difficult to survive and where the real challenges await. GAME FEATURES Fast and furious multiplayer * Thousands of items and powerful relics to collect * Use items and relics to build your own tactics * The best cooperative, player-vs-environment gameplay ever made in RTS game * Random maps for infinite exploration * Unique blend of post apocalyptic setting, hi-tech and primitive * Epic, dangerous missions with great rewards * 3 playable races [Black Sea Studios]	Windows
X-COM: Apocalypse	author	2014		Linux
X-COM: Apocalypse	Microprose;2K Games (Microprose)	1997	[84]* [65]Una extraño juego de la saga X-COM, tanto por estética (plasticote retro por todas partes) como por jugabilidad (lo de defender una ciudad de conspiraciones cambia el juego de estrategia defensiva a estrategia política) Eso sí, las misiones se manejan por turnos y la interfaz está muy pulida, además de que muchas armas y elementos nuevos (como los ataques psíquicos) están muy bien integrados. 6 de 10 [58]There's something evil in the city tonight... Earth has been ravaged by human excess, petty conflict and alien invasion. The world's population has been herded into huge cities, the first of which was Mega Primus. 2084: A Utopia shattered, social collapse and civil unrest reigns in Mega Primus. Fiendish aliens terrorize the city. UFOs swarm through Dimensional Gateways. The city's under siege from an unknown enemy. Your mission, as X-COM Commander, is to combat alien aggression and uncover their deadly intentions. But Beware! Alien infiltration into the city and its politics could see you under fire from criminal gangs, religious sects, and even the police! Alien fleets fill the skies, creatures terrorize the city, chaos reigns... Welcome to the war, welcome to the Apocalypse. Features: Explosive third game from the highly successful and thrilling X-Com series, following X-COM: UFO Defense and X-COM: Terror from the Deep. * Battle alien invasion fleets over the city of Mega Primus in real-time. * Combat the alien infestation in real-time or turn-based tactical missions. * Research alien-based technology. Create newer and more destructive weaponry. * Destroy alien sympathizers and stem alien infiltration. Wage war on new worlds in the Alien Dimension. [Valve?]*Latest version: retail[b]missing images:[/b] package, alien dimension, more interesting/varied looking tactical combat screens*[b]Minimum requirements:[/b] 486 DX/4 100 MHz * MS-DOS 5.0 * 8 MB RAM (16 MB if running under Windows 95) * 20 MB free HD space * SVGA 640x480x256 display mode [b]Recommended:[/b] * Pentium 90 MHz * 16 MB RAM * 200 MB free HD space [b]Supported soundcards:[/b] * SoundBlaster * MS Sound System * ESS Audio Drive * ProAudio Spectrum * Ensoniq SoundScape * Gravis UltraSound*This is advertised as Windows 95 game, but it's actually DOS game. It's however of note that Win95 had sufficient DOS support still in for it to work there without effort. Not true in newer Windows systems though.*An unusual change from the previous X-COM games which were darker and more tied to popular sci-fi fads. Although the gameplay is good and somewhat unusual, its greatest weakness is its outlook. Everything is in cheery candy wrapped colours with odd plastic shine to them, giving the game an unreal feel and makes it difficult to immerse oneself into the gameworld and feel like we really are being invaded by aliens from another dimension while some strange alien worshipping cult tries to sabotage your operations. This is not the only reason, but it just feels like it lacks a great deal to make itself stand out, especially now that the game is located on one huge megapolis rather than the whole world, so you'd expect the game to also have more detail on that accord but no, there isn't. Despite this, the game is enjoyable for some odd reason, but could've been much better.	MS-DOS
