If you're a fan of classic turn based strategy & management games. This is for you. I've been playing this since '95, and will continue to play it to my end.

Old school game from my childhood (yes I still have the original CD). Runs great even on newer machines (running Windows 11). Can't beat the classics. If you liked the original this is pretty much the same with a different skin; but still tough and strategy, turn-based, oriented.

****USE OPENXCOM IF YOU PLAY THIS GAME!!!**** OpenXCom is free to download, and only requires you to move some game files into it in order for it to run. On the website's forums you can find mods if you've had enough of vanilla. Most of them will require OpenXCom (OXC) or OpenXCom Extended (OXCE) to install. I had only ever played this game using OXCE. After playing the normal version, I can say this was the correct choice. If you like your ass beaten, and for it to somehow feel more fair than XCOM 2; If you like lots of micromanagement (I mean a LOT of micromanagement); If you didn't like UFO defense because it was too easy for your unmatched intellect; If you like looking at wiki pages and forums that haven't been touched in a decade (or two); If you don't suffer from an anxiety disorder, but would like to; If you like hammy 90's horror soundtracks; Play this game. This game will beat your ass. This game will get you feeling good that you managed to pull off a mission without anyone dying, and then next mission it will beat your ass. You will unlock new armor, or a fancy new alien grenade, only for it to beat your ass. You will screen your soldiers for M.C. strength, send them on a terror mission, and it will beat your ass. This game is not for the faint of heart. I have yet to beat the game's hardest difficulty. If you want a game that you can play, and play, and play, and play, then mod and play some more, this game has you covered. The difficulty levels all play differently from each other, and if you ever get bored there's always Ironman mode. The research tree, in tandem with random alien activity and few truly guaranteed events mean that each new game, the story can play out differently. I don't know how to end this review. Play the game. It's good. I think it says enough that this game is older than I am, by years, but I'm still comparing newer games against its standard.
