Terror From The Deep is the best X-com Game.

[Brutus Destructor]

Just my Opinion maybe.

I feel like Terror from the deep was better than the new games in to many ways to count.
I loved the atmosphere of it, the artwork was more gritty and spooky and all of the little details of the things you could do shooting down and raiding crashed alien dreadnought was crazy fun. The only drawback to playing it now is how old the graphics are. I admit that the new games are fabulous but they are missing a great deal in comparison.

Opinions differ.

Best? Never really thought about it. Great? Definitely.

Honestly, I hated the setting and disliked the story.

What I like about Legacy Com, is the base building, the air combat and actual inventory management down to the number of magazines you bring for all your weapons.

But all of that was in the OG game, just about the only thing I liked from TFTD, was the cruise liner terror missions. But the rest of it was meh.

You liked wandering around a multi-level ship trying to find where that last alien was?

As insane as it sounds, yeah, I liked the tension of it ... sure having the last dumb ass deepone hiding in a closet deep in the bowels of the ship for 3 hours was a pita, but I liked the aspect of sweeping through the ship methodically ... the more I think of it, I actually feel I enjoyed the idea more than the execution ... I really did not like TFTD.

At least it was not apocalypse lol.

And the fact that it was just a re-skinned, more unforgiving X-Com: UFO Defense.
And the tedious multi-part missions.
And the literally game-breaking Research bugs.
And the cruise-ship maps (dear powers above, the horribly-designed cruise-ship maps).

That said, I DID love the premise and the setting of TFtD.

I honestly preferred XCOM apocalypse over terror from the deep. But overall I think XCOM 2 wotc is the best XCOM to date

[mk11]

I preferred Apocalypse until my game was broken by bugs.

I also agree XCOM 2 is best and of the old games the the first was best.

Certaintly better then "Xcom" Bordo

I always loved TFTD More than the original or apocalypse. It's such a unique setting and terrifying experience. yeah it's buggy, but man, I'd kill for a new TFTD. I wish we'd get XCOM 3 with TFTD Mixed in.
