UFO: Aftershock is the sequel to UFO: Aftermath and carries on the story of humanity's fight against alien forces on a changed Earth. It combines a global strategy layer, where you expand territory, build bases, manage resources and research new gear, with tactical missions where your squad takes on hostile groups in detailed isolated maps. Compared with the first game, it adds more depth to both halves.
Combat is real-time with pause, so you can stop the action to plan moves and give orders. It is a single-player game with a long campaign and a fair amount of micromanagement. UFO: Aftershock suits strategy players who enjoy X-COM style games and want a broader campaign than the original.
