X-COM 2 – Terror from the Deep

X-COM: Terror from the Deep – Defend Earth from the Threat Below

After defeating the first wave of aliens in UFO: Enemy Unknown, humanity once again faces a new and insidious threat—this time from the depths of the ocean. In X-COM: Terror from the Deep, you take command of a new global X-COM unit tasked with stopping an underwater invasion led by terrifying, intelligent aliens.

The game delivers classic X-COM gameplay, including:

  • 🌊 Underwater missions in cities, on the ocean floor, and inside sunken ships
  • 🔬 Research into alien technology that can be turned against them
  • 🛠️ Base management, resource management, and production of new equipment
  • 🎯 Turn-based combat with high difficulty and permadeath
  • 🛡️ Protecting major cities and supply lines from attacks

As the head of X-COM, you must research new weapons, intercept and take down enemy underwater craft, and defend civilian targets—or you’ll lose support from the nations, and your funding will quickly dry up.

The tone in Terror from the Deep is darker than in the first game, reinforced by claustrophobic underwater environments and an eerie soundtrack. It’s a game that rewards planning, situational awareness, and strategic thinking, and it challenges even seasoned X-COM veterans.
