5.0 out of 5 stars UFO Trilogy
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2013

UFO Trilogy is a very solid XCOM type game. I was not certain I would like the real ime part, but I love it. Yes, I have played original XCOM, and others, thru the years.

Aftermath
The first UFO game, the emphasis is on tactical combat. Bases do all of the research and manufacturing. This was a fun game to play! Any soldier can be trained any way you want. The game get s rougher as you eventually fight the aliens. The only drawback is the searching for that last enemy on the map. Great game.

Aftershock
I've only scratched this game some. It is a darker setting than the first game. It is also rather hard at the beginning. I've not played too far into it.

Afterlight
Set on Mars, this is a full-blown XCOM type game. You get scientists and technicians and soldiers. Battles can be intense. Also, all of the characters have personalities as a story is told while playing. This entry is very cool. Nice graphics, as well.

Only Aftermath will run with Intel graphics. They all run fine on an Nvidea graphics card. All of these run on Win7 64-bit.

I had low sound in Afterlight until I boosted the Windows sound equalizer to Power. Now it sounds great!

If you are itching to play more original XCOM type games, search no more! I was wary at first, but these UFO games are totally awesome!

5.0 out of 5 stars Welcome to Planet Earth! Now prepare to be thrashed!
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2012
Once upon a time there was a game called UFO: Enemy Unknown, or at least that's what is was called over here in the UK. Elsewhere it was called XCOM: Earth Defense. Whatever it was called, it was debateably one of the most important tactical, turn based, squad RPG games ever produced. It set a very high bar for so very many games to follow and, in many cases, too many fell very short of the mark.
It was continued by titles such as XCOM: Terror from the Deep and XCOM Apocalypse and then Microprose sort ran off with the XCOM franchise and made other games and shoved the XCOM brand name on the front and it slowly began to disappear until recently (but the less said about that, the better... for now).

Turn the clock forward 10 years (2003) and ALTAR have not only picked up where Mythos's Dreamland project left off but then went to town on how the engine was going to work from there on in.

UFO: Aftermath
Aliens visited Earth and bombarded the atmosphere with a biological substance that blotted out the planet's light source and placed it in to a short environmental winter and then proceeded to mutate life all over the planet. The Human race is rinsed and those that didn't find shelter often found themselves cut down by the elements or by the mutants that slowly became more and more horrific. And then someone got a plan together: unified and outfitted some hardy survivors and began to research the threats Humanity was facing.
The fight back was going well, right up until the Aliens came back! But then, when has the Human race given up without a fight?

UFO: Aftershock
After the events of Aftermath, the Earth is a very different place. New species of Human have taken to colonising around the globe; the Psionics and the Cyborgs, one physically weak but with incredible mental powers and the other imbued with high technology but unprepared for psionic powers. But all is not working as well as it could do; the new species don't entirely see eye to eye and resources are dwindling after the conflicts, not to mention that the mutations are still rampant.
Add to that, a growing fundamentalist movement, sympathetic to the alien coalition, has started to spread across the planet and jeapordizing the last chances the Human race have of surviving by, essentially, calling in another wave of alien invaders.
Humanity's last hope is an orbital Laputa that hangs in the upper atmosphere and continues to research the alien and mutant menace, striving for a common diplomatic peace between all Humans and to rid the Earth of the invaders once and for all.

UFO: Afterlight
At the start of the alien invasion, an attempt to colonise Mars was set under way by a radical thinking selection of civilians and ex-military personnel. They reached Mars and attempted to terraform the planet, mining for minerals, water and fuel. Within that time they managed to set up a base and make contact with the Reticulans / Greys who had previously been intent on wiping out the Human race have managed to maintain a peaceful relationship.
Although they were unable to contact Earth anymore, they were doing alright until one day one of the robotic devices used for archeology went beserk and killed one of the chief researchers and husband to another colonist.
From there on in, sabotage, attacks and general madness insues and the colonists must research old technologies, weapons and armour, upgrade their base and fortify themselves for a war they are ill-prepared for.

These are squad based, real time strategy games paying homage in many ways to the original UFO game. Each game in the series provides an advancement in what is, without question, an utterly unique gaming experience and redefines the RPG / character building element and the way you capture, research and deploy the technology and information you acquire throughout the many, many scenarios of the game.

UFO: Aftermath focusses on a more generalised playing experience, introducing the player to the genre, setting down a character-building precedent and upgrading both skill / stats and kit alike.

UFO: Aftershock shifts the momentum up a notch and enhances the character build with specific classes and abilities while at the same time intensifying the resource accumulation and research & development aspects and adding weapon customisations for every character.

UFO: Afterlight just changes the playing field entirely with the focus erring toward the characters; each are trained in skills based upon their classes but with a much high number of options to choose from, weapons are upgradeable, research and development are virtually gutted and revamped all over again with significant improvements.

UFO Trilogy is, in my opinion, a breed of game that has been ignored for cheap-skate first-person shooter knock-offs that are turfed out by the dozen and given a terrifying mark-up and don't actually require the player to THINK. The squad based strategy game market rarely sees games of this calibre appear and when they do they often are never given the publicity that might get them a little more shelf time. The communities for these games are immense and modding is prolific for those that wish to show off their skills or those that want a different 'flavour' to their games.

From one experienced gamer to another, while this might not be your particular cup-of tea, those of you that prefer something a little more cerebral this box set is, without a doubt, a very important and very well priced purchase.

10 out of 10 (and I don't say that lightly...)

Earlier reimagining of firaxis's Xcom enemy Unknown. For a brutal campaign opt for ufo aftermath.....for a clever risk styled game with tactical elements go for ufo aftershock and for constant replayability with surprising allies go for ufo afterlight.

...this hasn't aged well. The game mechanics are very clunky and out moded. Lots of stopping and starting ruin any atmosphere that your imagination may create, if it can create any! The graphics, as you might expect, are quite rough looking by todays standard, but I didn't find them too detracting, unlike the gameplay.

If you liked the original UFO series, turn based games or god team management games you'll like this. It takes the original game and adds to it well.
Aliens have invaded and it's up to your team, base building skill and a little luck shooting alien ships down and reverse engineering the technology to save the world! Weapons have been overhauled, improved and added to making the game more realistic. Graphics are improved and the triple bill gives the old game the kick start it lacked, adding a better story line. Good for a week of alien themed abduction!

I'll keep this short, the graphics are as you'd expect from games of this era (not brilliant) but the game play is simply fantastic, so if you've never played these games and turn based gaming is your thing then you defiantly need to give these a go

old and dated , starts out ok but quickly becomes boring and repetive, you play the same scenario over and over there is
