UFO: Alien Invasion v.2.1 (Free Game)
This is the full, free game UFO: Alien Invasion, which has just been released in version 2.1. UFO: Alien Invasion is a squad-based tactical strategy game in the tradition of the old X-COM PC games, but with a twist. This game combines military realism with hard science-fiction and the weirdness of an alien invasion. The carefully constructed turn-based system gives you pin-point control of your squad while maintaining a sense of pace and danger. Like the original X-COM games, UFO:AI has two main modes of play: Geoscape mode and Tactical mode.
As the main task in 2.1, the UFOpaedia has been filled and expanded with hundreds of new and detailed texts containing full equipment descriptions, the history of the world since 2007, more information about the start of the invasion, and tons of other background flavour.
