There were no real concerns regarding the game’s writing aside from a somewhat generic alien invasion plot.
There is a significant amount of solid voice acting and the writing is easy to follow. The dialogue and lore of X-Com have been well developed over the 20+ years of its existence. As the commander of an elite paramilitary organization, it is your job to develop your base, advance your technology, equip and train your soldiers, and then lose those soldiers when they miss a 99% chance to hit shot and promptly die during the enemy’s turn.Īs you advance through the story you will take on harder and more vital missions in order to prevent the loss of your precious world to the alien menace, with the ultimate goal of standing in front of a beleaguered group of humans and declaring that it is the world’s independence day… wait that might be the wrong series. X-Com: Enemy Unknown takes place in an alternate, light sci fi version of Earth where our lovely blue sphere is invaded by aliens.
