UFO Screenshots
It is the year 2084. You control a secret organisation charged with
defending Earth from a brutal alien enemy. Build up your bases, prepare
your team, and dive head-first into the fast and flowing turn-based
combat.

UFO: ALIEN INVASION is a squad-based tactical
strategy game in the tradition of the old X-COM PC games, but with a
twist. Our game combines military realism with hard science-fiction and
the weirdness of an alien invasion. The carefully constructed
turn-based system gives you pin-point control of your squad while
maintaining a sense of pace and danger.

Over the long term you will need to conduct
research into the alien threat to figure out their mysterious goals and
use their powerful weapons for your own ends. You will produce unique
items and use them in combat against your enemies. If you like, you can
even use them against your friends with our multiplayer functionality.

'UFO: Alien Invasion'. Endless hours of gameplay -- absolutely free.

The game takes a lot of inspiration from the X-COM series by Mythos and
Microprose. However, it's neither a sequel nor a remake of any X-COM or
other commercial title. What we as a team wanted to make is a brand new
experience that tries to surpass the quality of games from 1992, rather
than simply recreate them with flashier graphics.

We also believe that open-source projects don't
need to be disorganised or badly-managed. We work together in a
friendly and professional way, with a clear vision for a game that we
know is worth playing.

The UFO:AI development team is proud to announce the launch of the UFO:AI Facebook page. Its the first step of our new marketing measures - please like and share it.

We're going to release a patch for 2.4 soon, fixing some bugs and other things that went wrong.

Our plan for the next major release is, among other things, a new UI code which will feature the new Hud created by our talented team member H-Hour:

New Base Screen New Hud
New Hud Stuff

I also would like to mention a Lets Play of the 2.5-Dev version by Kelderan, it maybe helps some new players to figure out how to play the game:

(part 1 is a outdated version (2.3.1) - 2.5 starts on part 2 )


If you made also a video or a review of 2.4 - let us know it!

The Forums here on IndieDB are now closed as we dont give any support there - which makes it obviously unnecessary. ;) So please visit our official Forum if you have any questions, suggestions or need some technical advice.

I also released the soundtrack of UFO:AI featuring the tracks composed by me:

Good game! It would be greater if you could leveling up your soldiers. I mean upgrading their characteristics. Like an RPG

Nice to hear that you like it.:) Well we have some RPG Elements in the game. The soldiers earn exp and get promoted, which increases their stats.
