XCOM: Enemy Unknown	2K Games (Firaxis Games)	2012	a	Recordando a los juegos tipo Tactics de los 90 desde el primer minuto, pero con un lavado de cara. Especialmente encomiable el elemento de las decisiones incómodas (algo que desgraciadamente cada vez se ve menos) y la complejidad de los combates. Pena no tener tiempo para disfrutarlo más, tiene una pinta bárbara. Se acerca a la perfección del combate por turnos. 9 de 10*Overall a nice turn-based tactical game, but might not be really up to one's expectations if you go looking for another of the old XCOM games. In short, this new XCOM game is extremely simplified and cut down version of the old X-COM with great number of features missing with only a few new ones to its name. For those familiar with old XCOM, here's a list of differences. Notably there's missing multiple bases for the player to operate, aliens do not set up bases (there's only one alien base in the game), alien craft activity is barely existing (~13 alien craft encountered before the game was over), terror missions and similar do not involve actual enemy craft going to the sites, your soldiers can't pick up enemy gear during missions, grenades and rockets are special one-use gear instead of actual inventory items, inventory overall is severely simplified to a point where its limitations don't make sense, the game does not simulate projectile trajectories except for missed shots destroying scenery (missed shots can no longer hit secondary targets) and auto/burst fire is treated as single shot in terms of hitting or not, as such cover is simply statistical wonder instead of literal cover (shots "penetrate" the cover - with no damage to the cover - when they hit the soldier hiding behind it rather than hitting exposed bits), alien craft interception relies on one-use power ups you need to craft (though they go largely unused), aliens do not attack XCOM base(s), you can only have one skyranger hence you're specifically forbidden to complete missions that appear "simultaneously" with others (you have to choose one, the others automatically fail, their timing and duration essentially synced), interceptor and skyranger management is simplified, chrysalids and robotic aliens can not be captured and studied, aliens do not have jobs (there's only one live specimen of each species to interrogate and beyond that, nothing), battle scanner is missing, arbitrary range limitations to weapons (not allowed to shoot if target is beyond certain range), incendiary weapons are missing, stun grenades are missing, quite a few alien species are missing, levels tend to be far smaller and streamlined (with very few exceptions), action points have been replaced with simplified version that has glaring limitations, soldiers have 360 degree vision, reloading and shooting in same turn is impossible, ammunition is handwaved away completely, aliens do not have morale, taking aliens alive has little far less use, and probably quite a few other things. New features, for those that care: upgrade system accessible via the foundry, psychic damage ability, classes, class perks, two-point system, and probably some others. Personally I think this new XCOM is good game, but just does not hold up to what the old X-COM games were about. If you want the old experience, you're better off with the old games, UFO: Extraterrestrials, UFO: Aftermath/-shock/-light, or the many fan-made remakes. Note that I played the game through on "classic" difficulty (the one just below brutal), which may have had something to do with some of my poor opinions.EAN-13: [code]5 026555 056151[/code] (European/Worldwide)**[media=youtube]u9i6X5fgaCE[/media]	Windows

X-COM: UFO Defense	Microprose (Mythos Games)	1994	a	Un clásico de acción por turnos, que sigue manteniendo su inmensa dificultad (donde los enemigos muchas veces son más listos que tú y retirarse es una opción muy viable) Visto desde hoy, peca de una interfaz complejísima e impracticable, en lo cual le supera el reciente XCOM: Enemy Unknown (a pesar de no tener las opciones de varias bases y su construcción en detalle) Interesante desde el punto de vista histórico, pero a excepción del reto que supone no tiene nada que no se sienta anticuado y obsoleto. 5 de 10*CD-ROM version [37]Floppy disk version [37]Latest version: 1.4 (as of ?)[i]UFO: Enemy Unknown[/i] was used in Russia and likely rest of the Europe as well.*[b]Minimum requirements:[/b] MS-DOS 5.0 * 386 20 MHz CPU * 4 MB RAM (2 MB free) * 560 kB free conventional memory [b]Supported soundcards:[/b] * SoundBlaster * AdLib * Roland LAPC-1 * PC Speaker*Two books were made of the game.

Tackle the aliens with automatic rifles, rocket launchers and even tanks in the struggle to retrieve useful technology, weapons or life forms. - Research and manufacture alien technologies: Successful ground assault missions will allow X-Com scientists to analyse alien items. Each new breakthrough brings you a little closer to understanding the technology and culture of the alien races. When your engineers have amassed sufficient research data on their superior weapons and craft, they'll be available for your troops to use. - Develop a strategy to save the Earth: You must make every crucial decision as you combat the powerful alien forces. But you'll also need to watch the world political situation; governments may be forced into secret pacts with the aliens and then begin to reduce X-Com funding. [Box blurb]	MS-DOS
X-COM: UFO Defense	Hasbro Interactive (Mythos Games)	1999	a	A very simple port of UFO Defense to Windows with no improvements or changes what-so-ever, just that it runs natively on Windows XP (and doesn't even do that very well). Released only as part of X-COM: Collector's Edition and for a time was available on Steam until they switched to running the old DOS version under DOSBox (around 2008-10-06).	Windows

X-COM: Terror from the Deep	2K Games (Microprose Software)	1999	a	The war continues... X-COM: UFO Defense brought you to a galactic battlefield. X-COM: Terror from the Deep brings the alien terror into a totally new dimension.

In the dark depths of vast oceans, long sleeping forces are awakened by reanimation signals sent out across the galactic silence by their interstellar brothers and sisters. Slowly but surely, an army of hibernating alien sea creatures awakens. Your combat now extends to the strange new worlds of the deep where superior alien technologies threaten the very survival of this planet - your planet - Earth.*[Spanish] Similar al primer X-COM, pero mucho mejor por la situación de acción total desde el principio, una dificultad endiablada (incluso más que el UFO Defense), una exigencia de toma de decisiones tan constante como cruel y la introducción del elemento agua y de misiones de defensa de civiles en el juego (añade una capa más a su inmensa complejidad) Es algo mejor que el UFO Defense. 6 de 10 [English, Google Translate] Similar to the first X-COM, but much better about the situation of mass action from the beginning, a devilish difficulty (even more than the UFO Defense), a requirement of decision making as constant as cruel and the introduction of the water element and civil defense missions in the game (adds one more layer to its immense complexity) It's better than the UFO Defense. 6 out of 10[b]2.5D[/b] - tactical missions and most of the game is done with raster graphics, but the globe in geoscape is rendered with flat polygons for land and textured polygons for water.This entry would still benefit from 2 screenshots, one from terror mission and another from underwater mission.*A very simple port of TFTD to Windows with no improvements or changes what-so-ever, just that it runs natively on Windows XP.

Sword of the Stars: The Pit	Kerberos Productions	2014	a		Linux
Sword of the Stars: The Pit	Kerberos Productions	2013	a	Un juego a medio camino entre el rol por turnos complejo, con habilidades y atributos, y los juegos tipo rogue. Su único fallo es que algunos pisos son bastante monótonos de explorar, y su mayor acierto la diferente forma de juego que ofrecen las 3 clases iniciales. Además su gran aleatoriedad en el crafteo, implantes, consumibles y trampas de puerta otorgan variedad y riesgo de manera muy adecuada. Y el rango de visión, que no permite ver detrás de tu espalda, convierte la exploración en algo más táctico que abrir puertas al azar. 7 de 10**A deadly plague ravages your world. Your last hope: a legendary alien facility dug deep into the Feldspar Mountains...a massive Pit, built by the ancient Suul'ka. If 'The Pit' really exists, there might be something left. Something that will give your doctors a fighting chance at the cure. All you know for sure is that every expedition into those mountains has failed to return... And nothing sows death like the Suul'ka. [b]Sword of the Stars: The Pit[/b] is a fun, fast, light-hearted action RPG, in the tradition of Rogue and other old school dungeon-diving games. The game will include the following features on release: 3 Characters to choose from...Marine, Pilot and Engineer! * Go up levels and improve your skills as you try and find a way to survive the depths. * 30 Levels of ancient evil science between you and the cure! * Dozens of enemies drawn from the SotSverse! * Over 30 weapons and armors with a variety of special effects including flamethrowers, rocket launchers, plasma cannons and powered Brawler armor! * Randomized augmentation effects to make each game unique * Crafting lets you make special items from bits and pieces of your enemies. * Over 60 items to discover, ranging from the familiar to the ancient exotic tech. * Dozens of room types containing a host of exotic devices to help and hinder the player * Many fiendish ways to die including poisoning, disease, traps, radiation, starvation and of course...MONSTERS.
