It’s a virtual melee, with shots going everywhere. Without the need to worry about how many turns each unit has, your soldiers will fire at will when they spot the enemy. Real-time play is something new to X-COM. The standard turn-based combat that X-COM veterans love is still here with some handy new features: troops can be assigned to any of six squads, and you can now have troops lie prone for stealth and a steadier aim. A successful mission means you bring home more experienced troops and lots of alien items that can be researched to give you new technology and better weapons. As in the original, this is the real heart of the game. The other way to deal with the aliens is to take your troops out and face them head-to-head. From this humble beginning, you must hire new personnel, purchase equipment, improve your base, research new technologies, and build new bases, while fighting one alien intrusion after another.v You have a base, troops, some basic equipment, and a little cash. The game develops along lines that’ll be familiar to X-COM gamers. Missed shots will damage buildings, which can seriously tick off the companies that own them, possibly resulting in a decrease in funding. A neat feature lets you watch the battles over the cityscape between your interceptors and the aliens’ UFOs. One way to do that is to shoot down UFOs as they threaten the city. You have to make sure they’re happy if you want to keep the cash flowing in. MegaPrimus is run by a group of corporations that fund your operation. In Apocalypse, almost the entire game is focused within MegaPrimus, a futuristic self-contained city under constant attack from aliens. Previous X-COM games were fought on a global scale. As the supreme commander of X-COM, you manage your resources (budgets, purchases, research), and wage war on the aliens by commanding your troops in battle. While X-Com: Apocalypse will certainly strike a chord with fans of the original, there are some minor drawbacks that keep it from eclipsing X-COM in terms of sheer fun.įor the uninitiated, X-COM stands for Extraterrestrial Combat Unit, a group of futuristic soldiers that you recruit to fight an alien invasion. After a disappointing sequel, Terror From the Deep (which was little more than X-COM underwater), MicroProse has fired back with all-new graphics, a new story line, and some significant changes in gameplay. So, for those of you who are at the point I was, who are contemplating on getting a refund for a very good game, try doing a factory reset on your computer first.There have been high expectations for the follow-up to X-COM: UFO Defense, one of the best turn-based strategy games ever for the PC. Now? I've a good chunk of time, and am about half way into a campaign, and have yet to recieve the issue. Before, I would get it every mission after the tutorial. This some how fixed my issue of getting the "Pure Virtual Function" error. However, before I could do this, another issue came up on my computer, unrelated to steam (I think.) that forced me to do a factory reset on my computer. It became such an issue for me that I contemplated uninstalling, and requesting a refund. Some people suggested saving loading saves that aren't in a mission, some people sggested fiddling with the LW toolbox's setting. So, after scouring for days in both the games forums, and steams forums, I found dozens of people having the issue, some with mods, some with no mods, but no real fix. So, upon getting this game, as well as the DLC for it, I encountered the same issue that many others seemed to be getting.
