In 1994, X-COM: UFO Defense, a grand strategy game featuring tactical turn-based combat, was released. This game became a cult classic, captivating generations of gamers, so it's no surprise that a remake, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, was released in 2012.

This expansion contains several new missions and updates to various gameplay elements, offering a slightly different take on the familiar gameplay. What's the story behind this legendary strategy game? For those unfamiliar with the series, here's a quick overview. Earth has been invaded by aliens, and the secret organization XCOM, uniting the world's finest soldiers and scientists, must stop the alien invasion.

Battles are turn-based, and tactical combat requires careful consideration. Overall, the gameplay is incredibly engaging, so it's no wonder so many are eager to play XCOM Enemy Within. XCOM Enemy Within Features: The expanded version of the legendary strategy remake introduces a unique substance, Meld, composed of nanorobots. It can significantly upgrade weapons and soldiers. Soldiers can be bio-modified, which is reversible, or transformed into half-mechs. The latter modification is irreversible, but grants soldiers greater capabilities. "Meld isn't the only source of improvements. The base will have a genetic lab, a dedicated workshop for producing next-generation exoskeletons, and other technological advances. Overall, there are plenty of opportunities to improve the morale and physical fitness of soldiers fighting the aliens." New enemy species have appeared, and all members of the alien race have increased intelligence, making them much more challenging to deal with.
