Was a head of its time when it came out. for me its better than modern xcom 2. although i have to admit i play the game with the money cheat to start with couple of million to get a head start otherwise its to difficult for me. love the slow build up as you research the aliens. and i choose the turn based gameplay with mission to better plan my tactical approach.

UFO: X-COM Apocalypse combines tactical gameplay with real-time combat and the ability to pause. For me, it is undoubtedly the best installment among the first three titles in the series. Of course, I played UFO 1 and UFO 2 extensively, but the groundbreaking part, in my opinion, turned out to be X-COM Apocalypse.
This is largely due to the game’s physics, the real-time-with-pause mechanic, and innovative ideas—particularly regarding the city and the various organizations whose favor you must earn.
Even though this game was created a very long time ago, I still enjoy it far more than most of the titles released today.
If you decide to buy it, you’ll need to update DOSBox to a newer version. There is a guide available that explains how to do it.
I recommend X-COM Apocalypse for its innovation.
