Title: FPS Games with X-Com elements
Post by: Valken on November 14, 2018, 12:07:35 pm

Hi all,

I thought I share some links I found regarding other games like X-Com or inspired by it but with different gameplay mechanics or perspectives, as more X-Com games, the better, to me anyways:

You can mix the 2 above to get a pretty good experience. The map set is amazing especially for the alien recovery missions. Really feels like you're at eye level with the X-Com agents yet with the classic pixelated feel... yes, give them time to create more X-Com like enemies as the Doom demons are placeholders.

Enjoy and share!

I'd like to add the the XCOMDoom TC not only replaces demons with aliens but also features different player classes and a host of new weapons, including plasma guns and the mighty blaster launcher :]

Does anyone have a video of this being played?

There is a nice X-Com Themed mod for Half Life 2. I've personally never played it, but seems very good. It includes an air combat stage too! It's a shame that is long dead.
