The best XCOM series game
Don't belive my steam hours, i must have played trough this 10 times at least. Best X-COM game ever!
I'm giving a positive review out of my love for this series, and for some mild interest in playing again whenever OpenApoc is released. This one has good chaotic moments and interesting stuff thrown around, and many people seem to have had a better experience than me. Nonetheless, this game is disgustingly flawed. I played the three classic X-Com games around 2005, at the height of my patience for DosBox emulation and compatibility settings, and even back then I dropped this one. Today I have just finished this one for the first time, just to take it out of my backlog.
Played it back in the 90s. Good times.
one of the best games ever made (but probably wouldn't play today)
Combines tactical gameplay with real-time combat. Very good
My online play time represents maybe 0.1% of the actual time I spent on this game... Played it millions of hours before Steam even existed... Play it now on Linux on a native DosBox installation which works a lot better than through Proton. (Linux instructions: simply install your own DosBox, navigate to the installation folder and type $ dosbox - works perfectly). The best X-COM ever, still. The strategic vs tactical layer has always been good on most of the X-COM games, but in this game the strategic layer has so much more depth than all the rest, and the tactical layer even has a choice between real-time or turn-based, both giving a completely different style of playing. Choose whatever you like - complete different experience. Due to the game never being completely finished, there are several exploitable things and some bugs (that might or might not be fatal for your play through), but if you ignore them (just don't do them), this game is fantastic.
Toxin Type C is still hard AF to get. Live captured a Megaspawn finally.
It was pretty hard to get back into, but once I got used to the tactical map's shortcomings it was a lot of fun to play this again. ~50 hrs to finish the campaign on max difficulty.
