Games like Xcom?
While this post dose not exactly pretain to this game in general, In my opinion this may be a good place to ask

I haven't played previous Xcom game before so while this is very stupid of me buying this game when i did border line zero research, I actually in my defense thought this game was a different game that is going to be released in the future (More action based, I think an FPS, or Third Person shooter). While in fact I LOVE games like this. Reminds me of Fallout Tactics witch i spend hundreds or hours way back in the day.

So getting to my point, What are other games similar to Xcom, Fallout Tactics or M&M Heroics 4?

Jagged Alliance
Silent Storm
Age of Wonders
There's also a free reboot of the original XCom called UFO: Extraterrestrials.

I dont know what Heroics is but... but if you are looking for some kind of Xcom-like game, that will still run on a modern pc without the pixels being one inch wide....id say

Jagged alliance (as cougarific said)... JA back in action has many flaws.. but I like it.. it will come around on a steam sale at some point in the next few months.. grab it for 5bucks lol. Its basically xcom set in a banana republic.

Id also suggest UFO afterlight, and aftershock Gold. Both on steam. Afterlight manages to be quite "oldskool" and modern at the same time.

There are others, but running them on a modern pc makes your screen look like a graphics card crash. The pixels are so big you will worry your MB is melting.

Afterlight is particularly good because it deviates from strict turn based control.. you basically have a time slider... so you can still do all the old plan-and-move stuff... but without the rigors of the unrealistic turn based system

The X-Com franchise had several similar games in the series, particularly the original, Terror from the Deep, and Apocalypse. All of them are still fun to play but the graphics are very dated (especially the first two).

Very similar in terms of gameplay and tactics, but with a different setting (colorful mercenaries in 3rd world environments) is the Jagged Alliance franchise. Jagged Alliance 2 was the best IMHO, and inspired a ton of mods. There's a remake (JA: Back in Action) out now on Steam, which is decent but it doesn't quite live up to expectations.

The X-Com series inspired a bunch of 3rd party remakes/ripoffs, the closest to the original was UFO: Extraterrestrials or something like that.

One remake/ripoff that became a series in its own right is the UFO trilogy by Cenega (not related to the above). Those were UFO: Aftermath, UFO: Aftershock, and UFO: Afterlight. Those were quite fun (especially Aftershock and Afterlight) but extremely buggy. Afterlight is on Steam, not sure about the others.

JA2 was good; get the 1.13 unofficial patch for it.

In fact I just replayed JA2 after JA: Back In Action turned out to be a disappointment - it's better than good (with 1.13).

Out of curiosity, What makes JA: Back in action better with 1.13?
Cougarific 23 out. 2012 às 20:09 
That wasn't clearly written sorry - I meant to say that JA2 is great (with the unofficial 1.13 patch).

I re-installed it from my original CD-ROM (!!!!) after reading mixed reviews about JA:BiA.

What he really meant was JA2 (not JA: Back In Action) gets even better with unofficial mod patch v1.13. And he is right, I still play that game up to this day. No other tactical combat game has ever come close to it in terms of gameplay options and depth, really.
