| 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...

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. | labelimagesubject |
