GONE GOLD posted on 3 OCT 2005 by Sean Drummy
Altar's tactical strategy title is now sporting some new gold bling.
Altar Interactive has announced today that their tactical strategy project, UFO: Aftershock, is in Gold "Master stage." The game is the successor to 2003's UFO: Aftermath (review), which was itself inspired by the famed X-Com series. Copies of Aftershock are now being dispersed throughout the globe as press members and game critics predictably get to play the game first. The current release date for UFO: Aftershock, which has been under development for over two years, is Friday October 21. UFO: Aftershock has been described as a delicious mixture of "squad based tactical action and global strategy." As with a growing number of other titles such as Rome: Total War, the player can control their forces on the ground as they fight while also managing a larger view of interconnected bases and outposts which provide a lifeline for the player's brave soldiers.
Some additional features include:
- Global strategy intertwined with tactical missions
- Strategic resource and base management
- Advanced tactical SAS (Simultaneous Action System) and RPG system
- Encounters occur inside and outside structures, with a broad range of terrains and multi-level buildings
- Amazing technologies and items to be researched and developed
