IF you are wondering "is this game like XCOM: UFO Defence" then the answer is yes! It has been tons of fun to revisit that time so far. This strikes me as an homage to 1993, it is not a clone it is more of a remake. Some of the sound effects are even the same! I have not had any crashes. I prefer this game over Phoenix Point and Xenonauts. I have been wanted a modern UFO defence and here it is. Enjoy! EDIT: There have been some bugs I have experienced, like an alien spawning inside of a wall so that mission is impossible to complete. This doesn't change my review, still hours of fun but an important point to manage expectations.
The 'widescreen' support they added isn't actually widescreen. Considering that we could do widescreen with UFO Extraterrestrials Gold, not a new thing. But the most egregious thing? The one thing that drives me up the wall? I have sunk hours into Gold, and I can likely find a number of people who would agree with me, but the 'generic anime' avatars for the characters feel AI-generated. If we had an option to switch between the two portrait styles, then maybe I would not be so critical, but the fact is that unless the actual game reflects the style of the avatars, it feels ABSOLUTELY shoehorned in without actual thought or reason. And widescreen only works if, and here's the kicker: it's widescreen in EVERYTHING. The Base screen is still 4:3 resolution. The loading screen is still 4:3 resolution. The extra aliens? The extra mechanics? These are the EXACT SAME RESOLUTION ISSUES IN UFO 2: EXTRATERRESTRIALS TOO. Yes, my time isn't reflected in this title, because, well, it's more of the same. Nothing's really changed that much. 64 bit support? Pretty good, but not good enough, I'm afraid.
Mind shields are bugged. Clicking on the item immediately crashes the game with no work around. Others on the forums have the same problem. The special items acquired from UFO swarm leaders seem to be capped as I cannot get more than 4 firing accuracy ones. Advanced craft parts cannot be applied to aircraft. There isn't much more content than the GOLD edition aside from the bugs.
Scam.
An oldschool hardcore game. Better be familiar with another X-COM game or clone, since this game won't guide you. I play for turn-based tactics, so i won't comment on geoscape or lore. My tactical missions started poorly. I was getting "A hidden unit kills [your soldier]" messages frustratingly often. Did i mention it is a hardcore game? Fortunately, you can tweak it to your liking. There are plenty of cool settings in "Bman's ease of use settings". For me, setting vision range of my soldiers to match that of enemies changed the game from suicidal runs to true tactical missions. All in all, after a rocky start, it is an enjoyable game.
Русский язык есть можно играть.)))))
[h1] Не рекомендую. Жаль потраченых денег.[/h1] Третье переиздание, ужасно. Попытка вытащить что-то из Battle For Mercury и освежить старую версию, что бы выжать из старой игры денег парой монстров и кучей ненужных исследований. Ошибок и багов много, из большого слота на поясе ничего нельзя вытащить - игра вылетает. Видно через стены тарелок и часто можно стрелять сквозь них, особенне инопланетянам. Исследования перегружены большим количеством мусора. Все солдаты стали почему-то анимешные. В общем не стоит она ничего. Gold версия и то была не так перегружена мусором и без такого колчества багов.
Wait for some bugfixes. Questionable keybindings that render tactical missions unplayable when you are used to UFO2: ET. Will also send game in an endless loop. Couldn't even play the first tactical mission without starting 3 times over. I definitly don't recommend the game in this state.
Loved the original UFOET, and love the new Platinum version! Not a huge fan of the updated animated style avatars for the soldiers, but other than that,, its great. They brought the best of UFO2ET and implemented it beautifully here. Mortars, New Aliens, New Tech. Well worth the price if you are a UFOET fan!
Ну, теперь игра пройдена, и можно написать маленький обзор. :) 1. Игра так-же прекрасна как и в день моего знакомства с ней(2007). 2. По ощущению игра стала более динамичной и более активной, враги действительно ведут себя как враги и делают больно. Что радует очень сильно. Не побегаешь с шашкой на голо. 3. Музыка, она прекрасна(на мой вкус) :D 4. Русский язык в данной игре есть(хоть местами корявый) но совсем не мешает. 5. Новый вид врагов, прям 10/10. Но хочется еще больше! :D 6. Новые танки, сделаны добротно, и миномет наказывает всех. 7. Грустно то, что нет новых пушек, хотя их можно было добавить из UFO2 Extraterrestrials, а почему бы и нет? Было бы больше вариативности. :) 8. Так-же хотелось увидеть новые истребители и тому подобное.(Это скорее всего мои желания) Да и в целом игра оставила отличные эмоции от прохождения, надеюсь на то, что уважаемый skalisko не оставит данную игру, и сделает Gold/Platinum для 2й части. Туда это прям необходимо! :) ps: всё же есть один огромный минус! Это жуткий звук смерти гражданских(будто кривой скример пытается вырвать твоё ухо) Надеюсь его заменят на обычный звук, который был в оригинальной версии.
