Ten new screens for UFO: Extraterrestrials

Strategy gaming has always been enjoyed in two main flavors: Real-time and turn-based. RTS has mostly thrived on the PC platform for a variety of reasons while consoles and handhelds usually got the TBS end of the platter. UFO: Extraterrestrials seeks to deviate from that convention by donning the TBS mantle in the mouse-and-keyboard-driven plane.

We’ve got 10 smokin’ screens of the upcoming sci-fi TBS and they’re looking pretty sweet. You play the role of a squad leader in a planet called Esperanza which humans have recently colonized. Unfortunately, hostile alien forces have appeared and are now doing everything to wipe your race’s thompsons off the face of that world.

Did those screens leave you itching for more? We can help you with that. Just follow the jump and see more of them.

The developers are bannering an advanced AI which they say will always give even the most seasoned veterans a thrill each time around. Players will be able to fully customize the style in which they choose to play with plenty of options on how to build your base, infantry, armored and aircraft divisions. Environments will also be part of the strategy as players can use structures for cover or blast them altogether to blow enemy units hiding inside to kingdom come.

UFO: Extraterrestrials is set to ship later this year. We’ll keep you posted for more news on this hot prospect.
