UFO: Aftermath je rozhodně následníkem ještě staršího X-COMu. Na tehdejší dobu se jedná o zajímavou hru, z dnešního pohledu už je ale skutečně zastaralejší. Nicméně pokud jste fanoušci české lokalizace, častého a místy zběsilého klikání a boje s mimozemšťany či mutanty, nebudete litovat a na pár dní vás titul určitě zabaví. Navíc jej můžete hrát několikrát a stále jinak, což je něco, na co by se nemělo zapomínat.

Quite a good game

And oh my gawd, after the second mission in secret base the game became ridiculous with its diff.

Against Transgenants (Mutants) i always meet Car crabs (Which snipes my soldiers from afar) or some mutants that can carry weapons, and by weapons they carry ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rocket launchers and plasma launchers which melts armour
And Alliens, if your base gets attacked after the second secret base the game became isane, your soldiers are randomly scattered and they will get raped by mass of green shielded alliens with Warp assault rifles, plasma guns and rocket launcher, or mind control pistol that will turn your soldier against you.

I lost a Pyro that way, he spawned in bad location and before he could fire his flamer he was out of my control, and whenever he regains control, he is surrounded by 4-5 Retikulans with freakin plasma weapons

He died, and then i camped in choke point with shotgunner behind and i mowed them one by one, but loosing level 14 soldier was a big lost.

It's a fun, older title in the Steam catalogue akin to the X-COM series of games. You fight to recover an Earth that has been largely depopulated by a malicious alien menace in a pausable, real-time strategy game.

PROS
+It's challenging, but not impossible. (Hint: Let them come to you sometimes! Choke points are an essential tactic later in the game!)
+There are several different damage types which are stronger and weaker against various enemies, forcing the player to strategize and take squads that have a variety of damage types.
+Most weapons remain relevant throughout the game--there's only a few instances where one weapon was genuinely superior to another.
+Game has multiple endings. Three, to be exact. I can't spoil them obviously, that's not the point of a review.
+Real-time pausable element provides an interesting twist to the usual turn-based X-COM formula.
+Geoscape is aesthetically appealing and directly reflects how well you're performing in the war against the enemy.
+It has a plot. With twists.
...
CONS
-Level designs are fairly basic and sometimes infuriating.
-Enemies can sometimes be spawned beside your men before you even get a chance to do anything.
-The last couple levels show signs the game was rushed out the door.
-The voice acting is so atrocious it's hilarious. Go to the options menu and turn off voices.
-It has a plot. With sometimes stupid twists.

If you really need a numeric score: 7/10. Playable, fun, appealing to people who enjoy X-COM and Real-Time Strategy games.

PS: If you have a widescreen monitor or are encountering technical issues, you may want to run it in a window with a couple other settings. To do this, right click on the UFO: Aftermath in Steam and select "Properties", then select "Launch Options". From there, add this: --options multisample=4 anisotropy=8 loadall=FALSE video_caption=TRUE --option fullscreen=FALSE

Have fun taking back the Earth!

I just completed the game. Holy crap was that fun!! This game is like crack!

Controls take a bit to get used to, but once you have, they're not an issue. Only one bug I found, and that's when one of your party sees a reticulan/bad guy, the movement orders you've given up to that point can be reset if you accidentally click the next destination point right as the enemy is sighted. This won't even occur to you until you get a few rifleman with super-heroic speed that you use for ambushes anyway. If you even do.

Vagrant, infinitesimal issues that take nothing away from the game. This is finished and polished. Worth twice the price at least, IMO. It's not real time strategy, the game pauses each time something comes up so you can take your time to think about what to do. This, of coarse extends the life of your hardware because you won't snap under the pressure and lay waste to your game room, lol. The gameplay seems simplistic on the surface, but quicly gets very very hard and you HAVE to think up actual tactics and strategies to progress. Sometimes blitzkrieg is called for, sometimes the only way not to get wiped out is to back up against a wall, put your heavy hitters at the back and your riflemen/(handgun?)men in front on one knee and just wait for the enemy to come. (I didn't do this until late in the game unfortunately, keeping your medic in the center of your group helps ALOT when YOU'RE being blitzkrieged.)

BE SURE TO QUICK SAVE AT THE START OF EVERY BATTLE, NOT DURRING!! You'll see why soon enough.

I'm not sure what impresses me the most about this game, but the ballance is definitely a contender. I can't say enough just how well thought out this game is. You can't seem to research stuff fast enough, you can't seem to develope new technologies fast enough, you can never manufacture armor or weapons in time for missions that can't wait around.. You have the delegate, you have to plan, you have to crunch numbers, you have to take humiliating losses here and there, you have to give 100% But, somehow, you always JUST BARELY have what you need to get the job done. Ballance. MASTERFUL ballance.

So, in summary, if you're a bargain hunter and/or a supporter of indi games (I'm a hardcore one, myself ` La Résistance indépendant!!!) but try to get quality when you can - this is a game for you. Well, if you dig strategy games that is. This isn't so much of a veg out genere. Don't wait for it to go on sale either. It's only $7 last I looked. And hopefully if the people who made it continue to make a living doing so (they've CERTAINLY earned it), they'll crank out more great games!!

{To the Devs:} THANK YOU!! Bombtastic game!!

Mám UFO Aftermath rád, ale stejně jako u Aftershock, je zde fixní rozlišení 1024 x 768, s tak titěrným oknem nemohu hrát.

Nedoporučuji, reklamuji.

I must admit, I've loved this game for years and when I saw it on Steam the other day it was an instant purchase. The game is dated, and a little tricky to get use to but still plays great. It does have a 4:3 resolution, so on a widescreen monitor it stretches in fullscreen, but you can play windowed to fix this.

The 3 UFO games, all thankfully on Steam are all great, if your into Xcom or the older X-com games, you will likely enjoy this game.

UFO Aftermath is basically X-COM but in real-time. It is a surprisingly good formula and provided me with enough fun that I definitely consider it to be worth the charging price.

The graphics may be outdated and the sounds may be reptitive and sub-par, but the gameplay functions are solid and the story is intriguing enough. Unfortunately the story is rather short and you spend most of the games doing generic randomized missions on maps that "randomize" slightly every go. After about 6 hours however you come to realize that the maps have limited amounts of "Randomization" as you begin to see the same maps over and over again.

If you liked XCOM you'll love this. It was equally entertaining, and with a unique type of gameplay. I give it 6/10. It was a decent game, slightly above average. Not amazing however, but definitely worth $5.

It's about time this game came to Steam!
This game is a worthy successfor to the original x-com, and is one of the high-water marks for the genre. It takes all of the core ideas of the original x-com (many of which were sadly cut from Enemy Unknown) and adds a lot of meat to them. The "geopshere" world map phase of the game is particularly excellent. The aliens have a plan, and it's up to you to not only figure out what it is, but how to stop it.
One of the greatest improvements is that the game is "pause and play." You can pause the game at any time (and the game will automatically pause when certain events occur, like spotting an enemy), and issue orders to your squad. Every action has a timer associated with it to tell you how long it will take to complete, rather than having action points and a "you go, I go" turn-based system. Things make a lot more sense as a result, and you can plan tactics without enemies taking their turn to run across gaps or cross the map without you being able to do anything about it since it's not your turn.
It also lets you have multiple soldiers moving at the same time, and group-select and move orders, which means that the squad sizes and maps can be *far* larger without the game slowing to a crawl as you move an entire team one at a time down a hallway or street.
The one thing I really miss that was in the original xcom which is missing from UFO: Aftermath is the environmental destruction and the interesting tactical options it provided. Also, this game was significantly superior to its own sequels.

Sweet tactical RPG. Custom troops, variety of weapons, and a nice little story to tie it all together. It's crunchy graphics are a little ripe but if you enjoyed older X Com and similar styled games you will probably like this too.
