Or you can just play the new XCOM with an aquarium in front of your monitor.įor tropes shared with the original X-COM, see X Com UFO Defense. The Stinger to XCOM 2 hinted that a remake of classic TFTD was still a possibility however, it looks like they decided to explore Apocalypse territory with Chimera Squad instead. It is a one-sided alien mosh pit of death and gloom.įiraxis considered remaking Terror from the Deep, but decided to release Enemy Within and XCOM 2 instead. Terror from the Deep will put hair on your chest.
Only a Lobster Man Commander can get you the game-ending research, rather than an easier Aquatoid or Gillman. Certain weapons will function underwater but not on land. Aliens holding one-handed Blaster Launchers. Particle weapons (Laser equivalents) have ammo requirements. That reaction shot will always hit you, and you won't get a chance of surviving. Terror from the Deep is another ball of wax. There is a bit of cheating involved (reaction time preference), but overall, it treats you nicely if you follow the house rules. Most of these features were bundled into the open source clone of UFO (OpenXCom) in 2010. There are also UI improvements: You can reserve time to kneel as well as shoot, and it remains set for the rest of the battle (or until you un-toggle it), streamlining the tactical phase significantly. It has the same game engine, but the difficulty and map size are increased, making it much lengthier. TFTD has the look of a "reskin" or an expansion, but is an actual sequel to UFO Defense. Now, they're upset that humanity had the audacity to deny their space-borne brethren the rite of conquest, so they're picking up where the war left off. Turns out they visited Earth a long time ago, and then never left due to crash-landing. After their last failed bid to invade, the aliens on Cydonia sent a message.to the oceans of Earth.
X-COM: Terror from the Deep is the '95 follow-up to X-COM: UFO Defense (or Enemy Unknown, depending on your nationality) which tries to change as little as possible.
