X-COM: Apocalypse

logo

The word has spread in the universe: The humans have won three wars against aliens. Now, others want to challenge the title we have managed to preserve for 85 years. Earth is at its worse state, a perfect target for conquerors. But do we have the technology to survive? Will we adapt fast enough to win again?

______________________________

The year is 2084. The last war against the aliens has left Earth badly contaminated. The environment started to decline rapidly and everyone suffered of it. Drastic climatic changes were devastating and too fast for man to adapt. Many governments started making plans to start colonizing other planets, such as Mars.

While the Earth's evacuation was under process, a self - contained city called Mega - Primus was successfully constructed. Entiirely independent from the home world's resources, Mega - Primus became a historical achievement. Unfortunately, even with a comfortable, low - cost lifestyle, the last four years have seen the city deteriorate. For decades, life in Mega - Primus has been idyllic - until now. Violence and crime are up dramatically. Missing persons reports are flooding in. How can this so called "Paradise" be transformed into what Earth used to be a century ago? And now, rumors of UFO sightings and alien corpses can't just be ignored. Marsec (MARS SECurity) can't deal alone with this tragedy. Only one organization can restore peace in Mega - Primus... X-COM

The Senate is still unconvinced that the source of the degradation is of alien origin. Still they agreed to fund a covert investigation by X-COM. An investigation that will turn soon into another war! While the new underground headquarter is nearly finished, important organizations in the city are dealing with X-COM representatives in order to benefit of the latest weaponry, personnel, equipment and transport. Only one organization is standing in X-COM's way: The Cult Of Sirius. This cult believes that we will be redeemed by a superior alien culture. While being suspected of being linked with the aliens' activity in the city, they must be monitored closely and if necessary, to shut down the organization .

Will Earth survive this new threat? Can X-COM prevent the apocalypse once again? To see if you can prevent Earth's annihilation, download the demo of X-COM: Apocalypse. The demo is 36 megabytes in size.
