NSFThunderbird yur wrong. Firt of all is says that RETICULANS came and killed everyone. Whats with the giant dog-alien-roaring thing doing? And Aftershock is about messed up DNA. Seriously, your actually kinda right, but the people suck(that made the game, They need to make up their mind.).
@KickenItOldSchool nah i inserted all my friggin 120 disks into the computer one by one and i found that the game i wanted to play was X-force: fight for destiny.
I'm loving Aftershock, I loved Aftermath, but God how I wish they'd just made it turn-based like X-COM. I wish people would quit with this Real Time stuff for small-scale strategy and go back to good old X-COM and Jagged Alliance style combat.
@Kurotaisa Basically, yes. But more specifically, have the units take turns and move more like chess pieces and such rather than all acting at the same time. It allows for enormous one-shot lethality like in X-COM, where getting hit was often death for both your men and the aliens, rather than the dozen or so bullets it generally takes in Aftermath.
got all AM AS AL i <3 those ... but have truble finishing AS ...
like game wont end ... says taht alien vesses is closing then it s like ... that it ...game goes on starghost atacks cultuist attacks ..... nothing more...
Of the three, Aftershock's tactical portion is the deepest / has the most variety, but yes, there aren't many maps so it can feel repetitive. Aftermath's actually pretty decent in that regard, but lacks the depth of Aftershock. Afterlight's tactical game just sucks terribly; I don't know what they were thinking. They made it too easy.
This game didn't get ranked too high, but frankly, I enjoyed the heck out of it. It felt more immersive with the real-world weapons and graphically more advanced enviroments than the old X-Com series.
If they took the tactical portion of Aftershock (weapon mods, prone movement, etc.) and combined it with the look / atmosphere / story of Aftermath, I'd like Aftermath the best. I like the design / music / look of it better than the sequels, but the tactical game just feels to primitive compared to Aftershock.
Ah, sorry. I think AL is better gameplay wise, and it also runs much smoother, but I like the atmosphere of AM and AS better.
UFO:AL is also much more flexible. I'm a regular on the Altar forums (although that has nothing to do with it :P), and the community is great.
Mostly people like AM the most, then it's AL, and in last place it's UFO:AS. I must admit though that I've spent more hours on UFO: Aftershock than any other game I've ever had.
It's odd, though. AM seems to be a favorite because it has the tightest atmosphere, but tactically, Aftershock is better. Afterlight's tactical portion was just excrutiatingly boring, and I did not like the 'set cast' for soldiers. Most of the fun I have in these games is naming my guys!
Yeah, yeah, maybe you'r right... i think you are realy right, well i played UFO Afterlight only few minutes, because it was Demo, i played Aftermath and Aftershock full and as you say, it's great... Oh and Afterlight isn't bad :) Realy original game, because it's first engine, that Cenega change graphics, Aftermath, like a horor, Aftershock, like a big scifi action and Afterlight is (yes) is cartoony graphic, it's sweet :) Well, i try to play Afterlight... :):)
Great game!!! UFO Aftermath is great, but Ufo Afterlight (third game) isn't good, i think it's crazy. It's like for kids... This Aftermath and maybe Aftershock is for real UFO Players :)
I suspect you haven't played both UFO:AS or AL. UFO:AS is a great game, and UFO:AL is also a great game. I have all three, and Afterlight is by far the most streamlined, and it definitely feels the best. The "cartoony" graphics actually add to the atmosphere... if you've ever played the game <.<
Anyway, yeah Aftermath is a great game. I'm gunna reinstall it right now (just did a full system restore).

UFO Extraterrestrials is pure crap, I regret having bought it. I've been a follower of the saga and that one is definitely the worst.

I think XCOM Apocalypse had it right - the player could choose at the start of each combat mission whether to play turn-based or real-time.

but not many people play LSN because I think lots of people find it too hard
its a tricky system to master, they combine turn based and real time
