The 3rd part of the X-Com games. This time you have to protect a town against alien intruders. You buy and invent new weapons you equip your soldiers with. When an UFO is discovered, you try to shoot it down with your fighters. After that, you send a transport vehicle with a soldier team to the crash site and kill all aliens either round based or in real-time.

Pre-release concerns about this change ultimately led to a compromise: the option to choose between turn-based and real-time combat.
