X-COM: Apocalypse – Innovative strategy in a chaotic futuristic city.
X-COM: Apocalypse is the third game in the iconic X-COM series – and it takes the franchise in a bold new direction. Instead of battling aliens across the globe, everything takes place in a single vast, futuristic metropolis: Mega-Primus. The year is 2084, and aliens are appearing once again — this time through mysterious portals to another dimension.
You lead the reorganized X-COM unit and must protect the city from unexplained invasions, fight aliens in combat, and balance diplomacy, economics, and relationships with the many factions and organizations in Mega-Primus — including the police, corporations, and religious cults.
What sets Apocalypse apart?
🎯 Choose between real-time and turn-based combat
One of the most notable additions is the option to play classic turn-based battles or real-time with pause, making encounters far more flexible and dynamic.
🛸 All within a single city
Instead of global base management, you now operate centrally within one huge city, where you must respond to threats, build bases, buy from and even steal from stores, and navigate local politics.
🔫 Large arsenal and agent customization
Equip your soldiers with everything from machine guns, grenades, plasma cannons, miniguns, and psi gear, and tailor each one to the mission.
👽 New and bizarre aliens
Enemies are far more varied and can mutate, infiltrate organizations, and even corrupt society from within.
